Running in Year 2023 (Goal 2023 km)

Saturday, October 18, 2014

2 runs this week - Thanksgiving (already reported) and 2.5 K after work on Wednesday. Opted for the shorter run as I left work later than usual and it was dark.

YTD = 1298.6 K (going into tomorrow's Toronto Waterfront Marathon).

Went to the expo to pick up bib and tech shirt after work yesterday.

25th year of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon (started as 1/2 marathon); coincidently, tomorrow is full/ultra marathon #25
Nice tech shirt! I signed up for large size - a bit too big and couldn't change size until tomorrow. I will keep it as it is wearable. Perhaps medium will be too tight? 
Saw this video playing at the Ottawa Marathon expo. Bought a copy for $20 and met one of the co-directors, Michael Del Monte. 
 At the expo, I "eyed" the Garmin watches. Mine is approaching 3 years and the battery is not working well anymore. I believe it's supposed to have a life of 8 hours but mine says "battery low" after a couple of hours. Not needed just yet.

Also "eyed" compression socks. Didn't buy as don't need. Hoping the regular massages will loosen the legs - especially calfs. Didn't know I had to purchase a 15 minute for $15 massage on-line. Would have been good to have after tomorrow's race.

Fortunately no rain tomorrow. Going to be cool at 9C. Autumn weather???
