ugh....I got up around 8am and had coffee with KELLY and packed up. I hit the road around 11am and drove the 45 minutes to my place.
I hadn't been home since Wednesday when Ray left for Winnipeg, so my house was a write off-I cleaned the floors and dusted, got the mail and aired it out. I packed up my road snacks and pre race food for tomorrow....somehow I deleted this picture!
About an hour in I grabbed a iced cap made with chocolate milk-my fave-and kept moving
I got a phone call from my dad about 1.5 hours in saying that race bandits will be pulled out of the race and that without a bib I wouldn't even be allowed to get into the starting area!WTF-Now I didn't register because by the time I went to register (months in advance) the race was already SOLD OUT I was upset that I wouldn't have an chip time but I was still gonna run it......So at 2pm today (race kits had to be picked up by 4) I was in the car on my phone on kijiji sending out emails to try and find a bib! It was that or turn around and go home and waste the time off work, missing the trip to Winnipeg with Ray....having to spend $200 on mew race clothes(oh come on like you wouldn't) and all the training.......I stopped around 3pm at a rest stop to
I was so happy and on the road again only 30 minutes behind.....
I got into Ottawa and off the highway to go into downtown and as I got off the ramp I saw this
DAMN RAMP BACKED UP-It took me 20 minutes to go 2 km.....There was a accident on Nicholas right before downtown and it slowed everything down......
I then got lost for another 10 minutes-with a GPS and the fact that I lived in this city for 10 years meaning nothing apparently....I made it to the hotel-It doesn't look like a hotel from the outside it looks like an apartment LES SUITES....it is nice and roomy so I will be on the pullout couch but that works for me.....
We went to BLUE CACTUS to eat....I have been here before when I lived in Ottawa....It was pretty good...I had the Bison burger and fries (carbs!!!!) BUT didn't eat the bun.....as you can see here I took it off-----too much bread
We went to The BAKERY Obama went to when he was in Ottawa
I love this Bakery-Ray and I used to come down and get fresh bread from it-So after supper we were looking for something sweet......
YUMM
Too many choices
I had to have a cookie for the walk back to the hotel-
-So good
We got back and had a sugar party
