Dash'd and Compash'd · 12 May 08
I did it! I made a personal best. 1:55:36 for 21.1 km (8/14 in my division, 26/60 in my gender, and 49th overall). I had an awesome run and felt really good and strong at the end. I then ate my body weight in free brunch and went home for an afternoon of relaxing on the patio (and maybe a beer or two).
Thanks to all of you for your donations. I personally raised $800 for Compassion House and together I think I heard someone say that the run raised $16 000.00… so Woohoo! Those of you who didn’t get a chance to donate, I will be involving some sort of charity in every race that I can from now on, so just stay tuned – there will be other chances!
If you are interested in seeing more data about my run you can go to my Motionbased webpage. Or you can go to the Results Canada website to see all the runner’s times.
My next marathon is the Calgary Stampede Marathon on July 6th… and this time it is a full 42.2 km!
