HAMILTON HALF MARATHON MAN AND WOMAN

Having accumulated a little fitness over the summer, thought I would do something a little different and go for a run. Thought a 10K would be fun. 

Should have paid a little more attention checking the boxes during registration because before I knew it I and my VISA card were on the hook for a Half Marathon.

Maybe because I already had a partner (for at least the starting line) in mind.

Nicola and Paul Nemy

  

Nicola has been running at least a couple of quarter marathons and more a week for a while.

She is actually coming off a successful Half Marathon during her stay in Inuvik, NWT this summer.

Successful in the Arctic is partly not being nipped by a bear.

Camera eclipse.

Having trained a total less than 100k's coming into this, I will be happy with just running the whole thing and the time will be what it will be.

I will keep my eye on the two and a half hour rabbit as I would be more than happy to bang off twenty one kilometres on or about.

"DirtBag Diaries"?????

Whats there to smile about?

With the temps hovering around the zero mark, I was surprisingly happy to hear the start gun.

See you later Nicola. Much later.

How discouraging.

Don't want to miss a turn off. Especially when it's downhill.

Towards the end I was feeling well and started to look for my 2-1/2 hour rabbit.

Better but not quite right.

 Ever been to the University of Victoria?

No.

I'll explain another day.

 Holy power gel. One kilometre to go!

Done like lunch.

2 hours, 28 minutes and whatever.

Congrats Nicola on your sub two hour!!!

Other than drug check for what might show as a handful of Ibuprofen, went over the brink for this

niagara paul. 

 Thanks Nicola and all for being my rabbit in life.

(I'm smilin' on the inside)

Please Note: For those who might call for advice on your lottery numbers for the week, I will be taking a brief rest now, so your calls later would be appreciated.
