    Cutting pace…

    Just for kicks I wore my Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS to mow the lawn (I know for a fact I am not the only person to ever do this!).  I hit start when I plugged it in, and didn’t stop it until I was completely finished.  The stats were pretty funny:

    1.66km in 51:23, for an agonizing 30:59 min/km pace.

    Now when you consider that I went around two trees, then back to get the cord around, take a water break, get around the shed and stop to shoo away a toad, that’s not so bad, is it?  I wonder how I’d do with a reel mower

    A runner for just over four years, Karen has already completed a marathon, two half marathons and a variety of 5k and 10k races. She describes her first marathon - the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon last September - as "a nightmare." However, she met a very interesting person in the process - a man named Sydney who was running his 152nd marathon! Although the race didn't go as well as planned for Karen or Sydney, he showed her that no matter how experienced a runner you are, you can still have a bad day. "Does that mean we shouldn't bother to prepare, or maybe just shouldn't bother at all? Of course not!" says Karen. "In the end, it is what we make it." We like her optimism!
