What an atmosphere today in Ottawa. Seeing runners young and old taking part in something that brings together community and inspires people to push their limits. People run for many reasons, no matter what the reason, it's something that allows people to prove to themselves what they can achieve. You don't just decide to run a marathon one day and expect to be able to do it. The time and training it takes to prepare your body takes real dedication. When the finishers cross that finish line, it's as if all their hard work was for that moment - and for that moment it feels like they've achieved everything they worked for, and that is true happiness. Savoring the journey and the finish. One day I'd like to give the race weekend a shot myself.
