I crossed the finish line of the Scotiabank marathon in downtown Toronto in 4:21:57. This is a personal best for me. On the same day, my running partner also finished, though disappointingly a bit later than me, with a time of 5:10. Not the time that was planned nor hoped for. Joe was ready but bad luck hit him somewhere in mile 23 or so, twisted his ankle and had to walk-run to finish. It took him about an hour to finish from then on. But the true gentleman that he is, he was genuinely happy for me finishing better than our target time of 4:30.
Thanks to our "groupies" - Andrea and Jeanette - who were there at the finish to cheer us on, take photos, and help us as we struggled to walk.
Overall, the weekend was great . There was plenty of good food, good company and a lot of running - hard to beat that.
So what's next? ...Boston in April 2009!!!
