A collection of random photos taken throughout an amazing summer of running, thanks to our awesome coach who provided a personalized CD to each of us. (Click to enlarge - some contain coach's captions from the slideshow.)
First night at clinic, 4:00 pace group
Meeting at the conservation area for one of our first long runs.
(you can see the temporary tattoo on my hand from the City Chase the day before)
The next 4 are from this "scenic" run at coach's place in the country.
Rocking the Recovery Socks at a post-run brunch
The infamous Hockley Valley 20-miler
A day at the track
Another Sunday run
Taken during our longest run - 23 miles
Hitting the "EASY" button at the end
A couple taken at the Toronto Waterfront
And finally, the Toronto Marathon
Group shot before the race
(I'm back centre in my colourful scarf)
Bringing Micki in for her BQ
(yep, I am holding her fuel belt)
Bringing one of the girls in for her first marathon finish
(I believe I am holding two fuel belts at this point!)
