I woke up bright and early sunday morning and met my friend Ryan for the Harbourfront Half-Marathon downtown. Over 15,000 participants took to the streets. We didn't fare too badly, although my time was slower than what it used to be. This will mark my first half-marathon race in almost 3 years. My ankle was a bit shaky, but the important thing is, I completed the race without having to call the ambulance to sweep my carcass off the road.
Today, I popped a couple of Tylenols and drove to work, donning the medal around my neck like I was flava flave. Anyway, I had a great time. Next week, I am running the 5K Run for the Cure, and two weeks later, the Toronto Zoo 10K. Can't wait!
Over 30,000 runners/walkers participated in the Run for the Cure, even pets showed their support.... 
I was waiting for my friend Mary to show up for the run. This was the sight at Nathan Phillips Square just when the race got started.
Thank goodness this was only a 5K course, and no time chips! I was able to do a leisurely run, take photos while catching up on the latest news with Mary.
