My Mother's Day started in the most perfect way.....a 21.1 km run through the streets of Mississauga! I went in wanting (but not believing) I could beat my last years race of 1:47:12 (I have become somewhat slower this year-I understand age does that to you :(
I am a hurting unit but I DID IT!! Mark pushed, prodded and poked me to the finish line (and put up with a silent treatment for the last 5 km as I thought of torcherous ways to hurt him to repay my tremendous amount of pain (sore, blistering feet-always my problem!! Had third degree burns on my feet when I was 2 years old from walking on a camp fire!) All was well as I crossed in 1:46:11! Within 5 minutes I was once again berating myself for stopping to walk at the 18 km mark instead of pushing through to get my goal of 1:45:00......NEXT YEAR! Wanna come??
