My First 10K Run

   Today, I was one of the runners participating in 10 KM race at beautiful Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto (http://www.tommythompsonpark.ca/) organised by MEC Toronto. The weather was fantastic around 22℃ and I fully enjoyed the race. My wife and two daughters were there from early morning to support and cheer for me. It was the first race in my life, so I was little nervous as well as thrilled and I completed the 10 KM distance in 58 minute 22 seconds. Not bad for me :)

My 2nd Year of 10K Run

What a day - rainy,  but beautiful and cheerful! 15,000 Cyclists, Runners and Walkers stormed the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway (@TO_DVP) today braving the rain for Ride for Heart event (www.rideforheart.ca). It was still raining in Toronto when we're at start line of 10KM run, but by the time, we started running, mother nature  smiled a little bit and slowly stopped pouring. It felt amazingly good running on traffic free Gardiner Expressway while watching downtown Toronto with fellow participants - all happy and cheering. I completed the race in just few seconds less of one hour (my actual time recorded by BIB and provided by www.sportstats.ca was 59 minutes and 23 seconds). This post is to Thank YOU ALL who supported me and contributed for the good cause (Life-Saving research in the field of Heart and Stroke) and my family who waked up early in the morning and went with me to Ontario Place (http://www.ontarioplace.com/) to cheer for me. Because of your help, I was able to raise $500.00 for Heart and Stroke Foundation. Over all, today's event raised about 6 Million Dollar for Heart and Stroke related research. That's really great! Thank you All!
