I AM GOING!! WOO HOO!!
I was able to book a fight and hotel cheap and with the help of my daughter and her credit card, which I will pay her back cash, and I secured my reservations. I leave for Phoenix on Nov 18th fling out of Buffalo and return on Nov 22nd the day ofter my race on Nov 21st.
Last Sunday I ran a half marathon with my wife Joanne who has been training with a half marathon clinic for the last 16 weeks, but because of our financial difficulty's she couldn't and didn't enter the Scotia Bank half marathon which was held last Sunday in Toronto, so instead her clinic instructor made a special half marathon route for her to run, Which I named the Barrie Ridge road half marathon. So on Sunday I went out with her in support running the route with her as well as documenting the faux race carrying my camera and taking pictures and video of her race. Joannes goal was to finish her race under 3 hours, and by the end of our faux race she did it! She finished in 2:49. Congrats Joanne, I knew you could do it!!
