Week in Review:

* Today = 21 K
* Yesterday = 7.5 K
* last Thursday = 5 K
* last Tuesday = 5.5 K

YTD = 1861.4 K

Can't believe that I am "eyeing" 2000 K for this year! Slowing down as marathon season is over. However, looking forward to 2018 as I signed up for the Niagara Ultra 50 K yesterday and will sign up for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon once it opens this upcoming Tuesday.

Today's long run was along the Santa Claus Parade route:

Start of the parade - various police cars - and Blinky!

Final float - Santa Claus!

Photo with Super Mario -- giving out Super Mario hats!

South on University Avenue.

About to head east on Wellington to St. Lawrence Market for end of route.
