First run of ‘21

[Decker]

My friend Amy organized this run and we were expecting horrible conditions with freezing rain last night, but we got some snow too and the temps warmed up to soften the ice and give us some traction and perfect running temps. We parked at Woodbine beach on Lake Ontario and ran out to the lighthouse at the end of the Leslie Spit. The sunrise was incredible and the snow covered trees looked so surreal. There was a coffee shop in the parking lot, so hot coffee and a pastry waiting for us at the end.

Sounds like a perfect run if you ask me, especially with the coffee shop at the end ! Photos look great.

The coffee at the end was the icing on the cake! Hard to take a bad photo on this morning

It was really beautiful and I will try to get out this way more often. Happy running to you as well in 2021!

One of my favourite winter runs by far!

I really love your photos 📷 💕 Decker you deserve this type of run with the scenery and you've certainly earned your miles. A memorable beginning to 2021 my friend 😁

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Haha thank you! It pays to sometimes just go anyway. Well it did yesterday 😁.

[SaskAlliecat Half Marathon]

You started 2021 off with a bang! Such a pretty run 💕

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to SaskAlliecat]

You would have loved it Sask. Crazy Canadian surfers and paddle boarders in the frigid water too! That’s where I draw the line!

[SaskAlliecat Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

No kidding. That is insanity at it's peak!

[dijep 10 Miles]

Wow that looks and sounds like a perfect start to your running year. Gorgeous photos

Could not have asked for better conditions on all fronts 👍🏼

[Oldfloss Administrator]

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to linda9389]

Amazing all round and the coffee and pastry just made it!

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Delicious all round!!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to roseabi]

It really was! Makes up for some of the lousy runs 😁

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Perfect start to your running year Decker. 👍

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Yes I hope it stays on this track Brian

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

Oh, another run to envy Roger! You have some lovely places to run. Happy new year xxxx

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

Thanks Curly. There are many crap run I don’t post as well 😁

How is your recovery going?

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

Oh pretty well thank you. The black eye has faded, and the scar on my brow is really quite small. Unfortunately I seem to have sprained some muscles in my chest so running is difficult, but it's not serious . Another week off and I should be fine. It's bloomin' chilly here at the moment, I don't mind an extra rest week!

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

I’m glad the damage was not too serious. Could have been much worse. Hope you heal up well and are able to run again soon!

[Katnap Marathon]

Wow! Did a road trip around all of Lake Ontario in the summer time many years ago. Great place. Great run!

🍻🐱 N Y Katnap 🐱🍻

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Katnap]

I don’t think I’ve been all the way around the lake so you are one up on me! It’s a nice place to spend time though

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Decker]

Don't tell anyone else but we spent less than 24hrs on the US side 🤣

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Katnap]

My lips are sealed 🤐

[Hidden]

Looks so inviting Decker 👍

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Its a great spot to run. At least that day it was
