My sister ran the full Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon yesterday!
She's amazing. ?
Initially she had signed up in hopes of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, but due to a couple of injuries over the training season (one this month), that wasn't realistic this year. ?She ran the 42 KM run in 4h53min and change.?
A new Canadian record was set for both the top male, and female runners (also 2nd & 3rd place males made records for those positions). ?It was crazy, I saw the guy who finished first, at 2h08m32s, UNREAL. ?That's 20 KM an hour! ?The woman finished 2h28m31s ?INCREDIBLE. ?It was very emotional. ?
Another story, one man proposed at the finish line after running the full marathon to his girlfriend who ran the half (she said yes!). ?Everybody was cheering for them!
I had never been to a long distance run before, and really enjoyed myself. I was at the final 100m mark to watch the end, and it was fun to stand among a group of strangers all cheering everybody along as they got to the near end. ?Lots of "you go girl!" "almost there" "you're amazing marathoner!" and the like.
Anyone else go??
Re: My sister ran the full Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon yesterday!
Wow, good job to your sister!
It was definitely quite the event - I ran the half and the people cheering along Bay St was awesome at the beginning and end, as well as everyone cheering along the route.
I wish I had known, I would have looked for you!
Congrats on the 1/2, that is amazing too!?
That's amazing your sister ran - and holy crap about the top runners. That's a wicked finish time.
I am running 5km - I can't imagine running 42km!!
Wow, congratulations to your sister! Has she always been athletic? Or is running seriously something she's taken up recently.
Congrats on doing the half Rebecca! You should be so proud of yourself, that is such a fantastic achievement!
That's a great time! Good for your sister.
I ran my first half back in May and I loved it. I want to run a full next.
