Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Half-Marathon Results

On Sunday I ran the Toronto Waterfront Half-Marathon. This was to make up for missing the Montreal Half-Marathon two weeks earlier. Going into the race I was a bit nervous because I had missed some training time while I was resting a sore left calf. I wanted to get in a good run and prove to myself that I could to run a better time than the 1:57 that I had in Ottawa this May.
The course is pretty flat but the wind was blowing in my face as I ran along Lakeshore on the way out. I told myself that that just meant it would be blowing at my back on my way home. I ended up finishing in 1:49:29 and didn't have any of the nutrition problems that I had in Ottawa. I was happy with the result and it gives me some confidence with just over a month till the Dublin Marathon.
Exactly one month from today, I'll be climbing aboard my first trans-atlantic flight and meeting close to 200 Canadians running for the same cause as I am. I'm very excited about this, about representing Canada, representing diabetics all over the world and about enjoying a pint of Guinness after the race. Thank you for all of the support that you've given me over the past year whether through words of encouragement or through your donations. You've helped take this from an idea I had been thinking about in the back of my mind for years to something that's actually going to happen.
