Sears Great Canadian Run Wrap Up

It has been over a week since I traveled 6 hrs to run for #YMCRuns in support of #EndKidsCancer and Sick Kids Hospital.

Here is a photo journal:

Up and ready to go!

Much of the team had never met each other so it was suggested to print off a sign with the above info. I didn't have access to a printer so we made our own. Thx Georgian Manor for the paper and markers. 

Georgian Manor prettiness!

In the end I FORGOT IT IN THE CAR!

My little helper:) I needed it

Paul dropped me off at my exchange point, I was alone, then two men in a van showed up...I contemplated what to do in here!

I eventually came out of the porta potty.

We had a bit of time to kill so we tried taking a jump shot. We never got it timed right:(

My Team ROCKS!

Then I started my run...

And I ran. Well by this hill I was walking...

But what goes up must come down:)

Hand off to Candace. Thank God she ran to meet me. I was spent.

All done!!! Woohoo!!!

My hill to climb

So I started my hill training...

On a treadmill:)

I chose a random option and started at 6KPH.  The highest it climbed to was 3.6 but I was concerned about how much incline it would go to at a level 4. I did not sleep well and was a little tight from the day before. So with a French Vanilla from Timmy's coursing through my veins, I sped up to 7KPH and ran the whole 5K without slowing down.  Did take me longer but I just needed a baseline to go from.

It was a really good run and I felt great!

I think tomorrow is a rest day?

I hope:)
