My Year in Running

I had a great year of running, here are some of my highlights:

April, 2012 - Ran the Boston Marathon. My best but slowest marathon yet (4:39:03)

May, 2012 - Just 3 weeks after Boston, ran the Mississauga Marathon in 3:53:46. My fastest marathon yet (by about 2 minutes) and BQ #2. Qualified me for 2013.

June, 2012 - Ran with Amelia in her first 5K! Mount Albert Sports Day 5K where she finished in 31:43, just shy of her 9th birthday

August, 2012 - Ran my first sub 25:00 5K (and a new PB) at the Carrotfast 5K in Bradford. Ran 24:51 (gun time).

October, 2012 - Ran my 8th Marathon at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, and while not a PB, it was my third BQ, which qualifies me for 2014!

October, 2012 - Qualified for the Championship race at the 5 Peaks Season Championship race at Albion Hills!

November, 2012 - Ran a 1/2 marathon PB at the inaugural Downsview Half Marathon
on November 11.  Ran in 1:48:30

December, 2012 - Finished 5th in the Road Warrior Running Points race.  Got some nice swag from that as well, a pair of winter running mitts, a fleece jacket and a 1/2 zip long sleeve running shirt!

Great year for the running!
