Randy’s SLM: A Marathon Retrospective
[Generated by AI]: In April 2024, I ran the St. Lawrence Marathon with the goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Despite meticulous planning and rigorous training, unexpected challenges led to a humbling experience. Reflecting on the lessons learned, I acknowledge the need for adaptability in pacing and setting realistic expectations. The Hansons Advanced Plan, though enticing, proved too demanding, leading to burnout and weight loss. Underestimating the hills and weather forecast also impacted my performance. However, amidst the disappointment, I’ve come to appreciate personal achievement beyond external recognition. Moving forward, I will strive for a more balanced and sustainable approach to my marathon training.

Around The Bay with Harold
Start and finish in the FirstOntario Centre, so no waiting around in the cold at the beginning, and a super stadium entry on the finish! The course is a Classic ‘Older Than Boston’, since 1894. At 30K, not your standard distance, and plenty of characters on the route that make this a must-do at least once. Final 10K has rolling hills, and it’s a 2K downhill slope to the finish!
