Don't Make it End
This trip has been awesome and Victoria, B.C. is an amazing city. All of us agreed that it felt like a big smaller city. There are so many shops, quality restaurants and things to do here.
Now, what you're waiting for - the marathon story! I'll do a full recap on the marathon soon, but for now I'll tell you that I hit my ultimate goal of finishing the race in 3:45.
In fact, my new PR is now 3:44:27! It wasn't easy, but I worked really hard and pushed myself hard to hit my goal.
My hip hurt from the very start, but I was determined to stay on pace the entire time and really hauled it in the last few miles. And now I have a sore throat and runny nose to show for my hard efforts - the price you pay.
It's sad to see the weekend end, but we're now on the ferry bound for Vancouver and then Lisa and I will drive back to Seattle, WA for her flight home.
Anyway, happy Monday (and Canadian Thanksgiving)! I feel so lucky to have had such a great experience with bloggers who feel more like friends than just internet connections. I would highly recommend visiting Victoria, B.C. if you ever have the chance!
Tell me: What was the best part of you weekend?

The best part of my weekend was probably hosting a pay-per-view event for our friends Saturday night! Lots of food and good times :)
Congrats on the PR!
I've never been to Canada, but have several Canadian cities on my to-go list.
I really want to go to Victoria sometime. My cousin and his wife live there and it looks like such a fun City.
My favorite part of the weekend was watching my dad complete his half marathon. I'm so impressed that at 60 years old he was able to run his first half!
The best part of my weekend: running 2 pain free miles with a good friend!
