Oct 21, the day after

Yesterday mom and I walked the 5 km route at the ScotiaBank Toronto Waterfront marathon.  We walked as part of the Sheena's Place Team.

It was a really nice walk.  Mom and I power walked it together.  We finished it in 44 min.  Mom came in 5th place on her age category.  If she hadn't dropped her sunglasses, she would have placed 4th. Even by walking, I landed in the top 3rd.  Funny.

It was sad picking up our packages but it was a fun walk.


I won't lie, there have been times I have felt like forgetting about running but then I am not one to give up so easily.  I think of Diana Nyad, Reid Coolsaet, Cory Freedman, all those who have been injured and have kept going. Why should I be so sucky?  If they could get through much worse why not me?

Time to fix my foot.
