a smidgen of a marathon

I like how they printed our names on our bibs

and yes, that's a banana in my pocket

I was also hiding a bagel in my other hand... 

I had started weekend jogs with Jess back when I first started this blog. Although the running didn't last long (roughly a month?), we still decided to do a tamer version of the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon which was 5km long. It took place on a very chilly Sunday afternoon - though the sun did peek its head out to say hello for a few minutes before the start. This was Jess' first run and I must say that even though she hadn't trained since the end of June, she did fantastic with an end time of 37:50! Aside from feeling accomplished, I think the best part was being able to catch up with a friend. I love the friends that I see often, but I really cherish the moments with those that I don't.

Always leaves me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
