Why are we doing this again?

As most of you know, Cin and I are abusing our bodies this Sunday, 24 Sept in the Toronto Waterfront ½ Marathon.  It’s an early start.  The race begins at 0700 hrs (can I get enough coffee into my system by then?).  ½ marathon front-runners are expected to finish at 0800, right behind The Flash (Faster than 10 fast men!).  Cin and I hope to come in sometime around 0900 hrs.  There’s going to be some big names at this marathon/½ marathon including; Simon Bor – fastest Kenyan in the race; the Joggler – a guy who runs the entire marathon while juggling(!); and Ed Whitlock, a 74 year old who can run a marathon in a little over 3 hours.  Here’s a map and elevation of the race venue.  Also there’s official “Oasis Neighbourhood Challenge” entertainment/cheering sites along the route where spectators can be entertained as they watch or await the runners.

 

So if you’d like to come out, cheer us on, and have some fun.  Hope to see you there!
