HBC Run for Canada

Ran 10K on July 1st in the HBC Run for Canada. I really like this event - it's a great way to spend Canada Day running along the lakeshore and we had gorgeous weather. After taking 1 hour and 20 minutes to do my 10K with Mary, I watched Tomas and Luisa run a swift 1K in the Kids Fun Run. After the races we headed into Ontario Place for a bagel and fruit then left Dori and her kids on the waterslides. Looked like fun but R and I headed home to chill and get ready for the BBQ.

THANK YOU MARY for getting me through! Jean (founder of JeansMarines) and Jan (our coach from last year) were 1st and 2nd in the Womens 60-69 age group and my race partner Mary was 9th out of 17. WAY TO GO! Congratulations to everyone who finished and got the beautiful silver medals from the Royal Canadian Mint. Even the kids got medals with their T-shirts (so worth it for the $24 registration fee). Will post photos soon!
