I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a “one and done” thing for me, but as I approached the finish line and saw 2:11 on the clock, my first thought was…….”I’m totally going to do this in under 2 hours the next time”! So, it sounds like I’m in for another! I love your strategy of doing one every 6 months, as that does allow you to go through two training cycles a year and have some time off in between. Niagara was a fantastic experience, so the big thing will be picking another race that’s as wonderful as this one was! Ive been contemplating the Toronto Goodlife Half in early May……….its almost all downhill! Cheers!

OMG! That’s you?? What are the chances indeed! That’s kind crazy!
Congratulations on running your first ever half marathon! Your first one is always memorable! Do you plan to run any more in the future? I’ve found for me twice a year seems to be a good amount – not sure I could handle more than that!

Last year the medal was significantly different. Round with a horseshoe theme I think, with a spinning Canada / US flag in the middle. I ran the full marathon last year, and this year again. Can’t say the rain was that big a deal, until I finished, took 1/2 an hour to stop shaking after I managed to get changed.

Yeah I think that’s the point where I noticed I was losing sensation in my hands!
It sounds like you run this race and path a lot! How many years have you done it for? 🙂
