Congrats MnM. When was it? When you say your position is 459, do you mean it's your age group position?

Marathon is still a long way for me to go. Planning on doing my first half-marathon this fall in Toronto. Hopefully, I'll do a full marathon next year.

Cheers,

Thanks dogshasha! It was last sunday, May 3. I was 459 in overall around 3000 finishers. I was almost 5 mins faster than last year.  :D

I started my first half-marathon two years ago. Then, I run my first Marathon last year. So, it shouldn't be too far from your goal, a full marathon, if you can do your first half marathon this fall.

Happy running!

It was my daughter's first time to do half marathon.
She finished at 2:25:08 at 6.53km pace and placed 4453.
She was exhausted when running uphills.

Congratulations to her! She did the 10 k and the half marathon in two weeks. Does she have a plan to do the full marathon anytime soon?

For half/full marathon I put some uphills running in my trainning schedule. It wouldn't be that hard if you had prepared for it.

Keep running youth runner!

No, I was exhausted after the race. I miscacluated the distance of the last 2 k. I thought it was only 1 k after the Burrand bridge, but it was actually 2 k.

So, I sped up at 40 k instead of the planned 41 k, then I realiazied I still had 1 k to go. When I saw the 41 k sign not the finished line I was almost crying. I crawled toward the finished line, and it took me almost 10 mins for the last 1 k. Anyways, as always, keep smiling at the finished line and recover my tired body at home for days.

Cheers,

She didn't practice a lot on hills that's why she felt hard.
She is not sure whether she will continue to do the next one.
Anyway, any kind of exercise is good to our bodies.

Stay healthy everybody!   :lol:

Aid stations provided water, Gatorade, Power Gel, and even candy during the race. After the race, tons of snacks were given for free.  :D

My gears were a pair of good runners, shorts, and the quick dry t-shirt. I have to mention my dear wife supporter taking care of my jacket and pants. Otherwise, I had to use the Gear Check service. I forgot to turn on my watch counter so my sports watch shouldn't really count as my gear.

米市 might be 密市 - Mississauga, a city west of Toronto. Actually, it's part of GTA (Greater Toronto Area).
