Fall Marathon Date Chosen

It's official, I'm running the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon September 26. Read more about it here
14 weeks this Sunday! 

After the Ottawa 10k I took a little down time, six days off completely. It's been a steady buildup since, 120k, 150k, and ~180k this week. It was important for me to take that time off to psychically recover, reload, and mentally prepare for an intense three and half month stretch that'll see me cover 3000k in preparation for one race of 42.2k.

My next race will be 10000m at Canadian T&F Championships in Toronto Wednesday July 28, meet runs though until Saturday July 31.
