Showtime
It’s just four days until my marathon debut. I’m currently in Stratford, Ontario visiting my family before I head to Toronto to prepare for Sunday’s race. I’ve got a bounce in my step now that the training volume has come down.
I’m starting to visualize race day and to prepare myself mentally for the challenge of running the distance at a good clip. I trust in my training, and my ability to hang in when things get tough. I’ve been told a first marathon is special, regardless of how it goes, so I plan to absorb every minute of the experience and to look back without regrets.
I’ll be posting frequently this week, as I want to share this journey with all of you who have supported me along the way.
Good luck Mar! I hope you have a great race and a wonderful experience and no matter what happens you’ll make us proud. Hope to catch up with you soon.

Best wishes, Marilyn, for a fulfilling race. I just did my first marathon last weekend. Some issues came up, adjustments made, outcome was good, and a huge learning experience. Thanks for all your great coaching and the energy transfer to your students. Its all good stuff. Sending some energy back to you. Brent
