So nice to run a race in some decent weather.... and shorts too... OMG! First time running an 8k so I set a PR. I started out way too fast because of all the excitement and the downhill. I paid for this in the end, last mile was my slowest I'd like to blame the hill but I just went out too fast.

Overall I am very happy with my race, hoped to be under 44 or 42 if I was feeling good. Finished in 41:47 Mile Splits: 1 - 7:49 2 - 8:04 3 - 8:34 4 - 8:21 5 - 9:00 At the end of the race I met a fellow RA-er, Rob, who has joined us from CoolRunning. Great to chat with Rob, he is a Marathon Maniac. He suggested a run....the only run in Toronto that has beer at the end.... what a guy, a runner and the scoop on beer. Jason

Nice race, Jason. You could have paced a little better, but still a much improved race over last couple. Steady training I see in that log over last few months is paying off. Keep up the good work.

Age 60 plus best times: 5k 19:00, 10k 38:35, 10m 1:05:30, HM 1:24:09, 30k 2:04:33

Good job Jason, yeah the hills are the whole thing about the Spring Runoff. You ran a great time for a very tough 8k

Lots of options for a Pint near the finish.

Good run, on a tough, hilly course. Your improvement of late has been impressive. Way to work.

Nice run on what looks like a tough course.
