Races

A report from Rainer on a good short race:

We did a little 5km ‘fun’ run on saturday. Margy figured this a good way to get me going again.

It was the Shoppers Drug Mart Run for Women (downtown from Women’s College Hospital).

Well organized and a good downtown route … of course Margy beat me (again) and came in 2^nd in her age category … not PB times but respectable. Something I am sure some of the other 

Shore Thing ladies would enjoy.

Here is the link for next year’s event should you want to plan that far ahead.

From Ruth, something sooner (September 28) and close, but with a curious name.

Here is a 10K (and 5K and 3K) race in our backyard. The early bird cost is only $23.83, and amazingly, the quoted price includes the taxes and processing fees (rather than the shock of finding out that your advertised $69 entry fee has suddenly morphed into $75).

The name is rather unfortunate. Bimbo is a Mexican company with the Canadian rights to an amazing number of brands.  According to Wikipedia, the name is a combination of Bambi and Dumbo, the favorite movie characters of the daughter of one of the founders. You’d think they’d have thought a bit more about this choice!

The forecast is chancy at the time of writing, but leaning towards a good outcome. Let’s hope for the best🤞🏻. L@8 as temperatures are still reasonable in the mornings. So far…
