Manitoba Marathon
15 June 2008Ran my first half-marathon this morning. My official time was 2:04:51 which was significantly better than I’d hoped.
What a fabulous experience!! I’ve been training for a long time and this was the opportunity to prove that I could actually do it.
I’ve was very impressed with the whole event, but most impressed by the hundreds of people lining the course, cheering everyone on! These people who’s streets have been blocked off and their lives inconvenienced, cheering everyone on as they ran past. There is a lot to be said for people cheering each other on, even if we don’t know them. Seems to make the world a better place!
