Alex's 2006 PEI Half-Marathon
Alex's 2005 PEI Half-Marathon
Alex's 2004 PEI Half-Marathon
It was sunny and cloudy and 11 degrees and no wind when started.
Were two pace bunnies one for the 1:40 and one for the 2:00. I ran ahead of pace bunny.
Ran with Sean McNeill first few kms, Shelly Simmons-MacLeod for long time and she tell to hard breathe from stitch of side. That work good. Thanks Shelly!
John van Ekris put up big sign by Peter Pan Corner about said first names of Stan's Running Group.
Members of Charlottetown Abbies at 3 water stops.
Within 2km to finish at Burger King My mom rode on bike to finish line.
I pass 9 people in last 2kms.
At the finish line wave cap they call his name on the speaker and lots a people cheering. Breaking 1:40 barrier and I felt great.
My friends have a good day too, especially Stan and Scott for personal best times and winning. 396 runners in half and 190 runnings in full. Next year I run the first marathon in running career.
