Once again the weather was great for the Mississauga Half Marathon.  This is a reasonably large race (over 4,000 participants) on a race route that is net downhill.  This year I was targeting to run at 4:15/km to achieve a sub 1:30:00 finish and almost got it.......Just had to run a little faster in a few spots along the way and it was achievable.  Nonetheless, it was a good race for me although it confirmed that I need to get out and do some tempo/speed workouts to generate more speed.

Next for me is the YMCA Corporate Challenge, a 20km 4 person relay race on May 28th at the CNE grounds.  My Toronto Hydro 4 man team is entered in the Mens 50 plus category.  It is a fun event and typically raises lots of funds for the YMCA.

I have attached a picture taken by a friend.  It sure looks as if I am barely running !!!
