    I’m not ready for Around the Bay, but I’m running anyway

    As the title of this post suggests, I am running Around the Bay this Sunday.  My training isn’t really up to snuff – thanks to a fall earlier this year, my volume is really much lower than it needs to be to tackle a 30K.  Having said that, I had so much fun last year that I just don’t want to miss it.  So I will just do the best I can with what I’ve got and enjoy myself.

    So since I am not taking it too seriously, I thought I would post a video from the 1980 Around the Bay Road Race.  The field is small, the crowd is smaller, the weather is typical, and the outfits are awesome!   If you don’t watch the whole thing, at least jump forward to catch the end – the finish line is an entirely different experience now!

    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!
