Waterloo Marathon photo race report

Ran the Waterloo Marathon today. Should have Mapquest the route as I took the QEW rather than 401 highway. Fortunately, arrived late only about five minutes so I got to complete the route. Bad news is I missed the therapy dogs at the beginning of the race (which is a highlight of this race)  :-(

YTD = 505.6 K
(Yesterday = 2.8 K, April 21 = 30 K, April 20 = 2 K, April 19 = 4.5 K)

Thrilled to make it to the start line... race has just started.
