The journey starts before you even step on the starting line.
It begins with setting goals, logging countless training hours and kilometers in rain, sun and snow. From coast to coast, training runs are mapped with one common destination: Canada's premiere race weekend; The Ottawa Marathon. For every runner the journey is different and The Ottawa Race Weekend is a journey worth making.
Depart at 4:00 p.m. from start line on Elgin Street at Laurier Ave.;
Continue south on Elgin St. to Waverly St.
Turn left on Waverly St. and head eastbound to Queen Elizabeth Driveway;
Turn left on Queen Elizabeth Driveway and continue to finish line at Cartier Drill Hall

18 days 21 hours until the race
I am a bit discouraged with my training. I thought by now I would be able to jog the whole 2km distance. I am still needing to jog/walk intermittently.
I am going to really push this week ....
Marathon + Half Marathon + 10K + 5K + 2K races - SOLD OUT.

ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you! You have inspired me to sign-up for the Walk here in Belleville on June 25th. This is the first year that I have felt like I wanted to participate! I got as far as the college and then turned around the first year..just didnt want to think about cancer anymore..but now I think Im ready!
Thanks for the inspiration!
