Her first race

I hear all the time people say "I can't run"  As I said before, Isik was not able to do even a power walk 8 months ago.  She ran today her first 5K, finished it strong in 38:58.  She'll run a half next year...I still can't believe it... 

Toronto Marathon

It was a cold, windy, rainy day but we got the t-shirt and the medal...which by the way was the size of a small dinner plate. :-)

Leona beat her personal best by almost 2 minutes so in the end it was a great experience and wonderful memory.

Wascally Wabbit Ultra 50/50

Who cares the time or the distance when you enjoy chatting and laughing in a perfect day with your running buddy!  The picture tells everything (Gordon , Tess, and Yigit)

BTW, I got my first tick bite!  So now I am officially an experienced trail runner:-)

Peggys Cove Run - 60 KM

Well today was our longest run before Yigit and I do the Pineland Farms 50 mile and Shannah and Mary do the 50 km trail ulra on May 29th in Maine. It was an amzing day...filled with perhaps some doubt but in the end...well I won't spoil the video. :-)
As Yigit and I discussed during our run...when we both moved into our neighborhood 4 years ago, neither one of us imagined that this would be possible. We are no different then you....start somewhere, chat with people about your goals, ask for help and you too will accomplish what you once thought impossible.
Hope you enjoy the video!
