Run, run away...

Well, I ran my first race on Sunday - the Sporting Life 10K here in Toronto. I actually didn't do too badly, considering i'd blown my knee out the week before, and didn't think I would be able to run at all. I finished in 1 hour and 1 minute. Not bad for a first time, I say. I want to run another - this could be an addiction!!!

[8luxy8]

OMG< that is amazing! I so wanted to be able to run, and was planning on running the tyerry fox run (september 17... ) but I can't!!!!

I don't think walking will have the same gratification that running would!!!

Good for you. start training for another one!!!

[8luxy8]

You should walk it if you can!! It would still have the same feeling. There were a lot of power walkers in the race that I just ran. and you could get a feel for how the race works, and you could even take your little one along!!
I can't run for two weeks, but then i'm gonna start training for a half marathon...

I have been walking 10 km a day (or there abouts!!!) yesterday was too fricking cold to walk... I don't get this 1 degree thing middle may... anyway-
Walking I can do..... I am organizing the terry fox run... I don't know if I will have the time to actually do the race... lol

How long is a half marathon??

[8luxy8]

Half marathon is around 13 miles... 21 Km or thereabouts.
