32 K long run today

32 K long run today on this long weekend. Been an "interesting" week with the freezing rain on Thursday - all melted now :-) All set for Around the Bay 30 K on Sunday, April 3. With the arrival of spring, marathon season has arrived! Looking forward to the Toronto Marathon, Whitby Marathon, Ottawa Marathon, and Niagara Ultra 50 K. YTD = 334 K

Toronto Marathon medal revealed!

Just received an e-mail that the Toronto Marathon finisher's medal has been revealed. Always a favourite medal: "Marathon finishers will receive our signature 5"x5", one-pound "dinner plate" medals. Looking forward to full/ultra marathon #36 in less than 2 months :-)

5 K run this afternoon. Need to remind myself not to start off a run with uphill incline on streets - left calf did not appreciate that. YTD = 269 K.

Received an e-mail from the New York Marathon lottery that I was unsuccessful. Too bad there isn't the 3 attempts and then you're automatically registered for the race. Second year of being unsuccessful. Will have to wait another year to attempt to lottery to run the 5 NYC boroughs. Eyeing the Philadelphia Marathon in mid-November. Will be great to visit the explore the city: liberty bell, constitution.
