Grassmarket 2,759 Posted October 14, 2023 #643 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Toronto Marathon incorporating National Champs & I suppose Olympic Quals tomorrow. Also Amsterdam Marathon on ES - not really the fast course you’d think with lots of pavé & viciously steep bridges. maestro and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not proud of my time, but my respect for these professional runners has grown even more. On 10/14/2023 at 7:15 PM, Grassmarket said: If only you could afford the Magic Shoes. Even those shoes couldn't have saved my race. One of my favorite signs I noticed that a supporter was holding said: "Keep smiling, the East Africans have most likely already finished and you only have 25km to go. You can do this."

This was a bucket list thing, but I started to really love running. Want to join me for next year's marathon? dullard, phelps, Josh and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to join me for next year's marathon? no, I love being so lazy! jokes aside, I couldn't start running even if I wanted...my left knee will never allow me to try and make any effort in that sense (I have a non-operated ACL...just have to be very conservative on that) maestro and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 705 Posted October 17, 2023 #650 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I suffered with a knee too. I was happy to complete the couch to 5k programme by mostly running on grass 5k is my limit though. Any more and the knee swells! Hats off to everyone who can complete a marathon! maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
