New Canadian record
I was pleased to clock a personal best time of 34:22 at the BC 10,000m Championships held September 1 and ecstatic to discover I’d taken down the existing Canadian age-group record of 34:49.
This recent test has given me confidence as I work through final preparations for my marathon debut, now just a few weeks away.
Eye on the prize
I’ll have another record in my sights when I hit the start line of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on October 14. The current Canadian masters record (for women over-40) of 2:39:45, was set back in 2002 by Danuta Bartozsek at the Ottawa Marathon.
I’m looking forward to the race. I feel prepared and trust in my training, but respect that anything can happen over the 42k distance.
For early race previews, see the Athletics Illustrated article, video and the Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s Facebook page.
Wow, saying that is impressive is insufficient. Congratulations.
