Marathon Oasis de Montréal - 5k - Run5k

The first 1.5k is slightly up hill... I could see I was going way too fast as my planned pace but I was feeling good and strong and I said to myself, go for it! So I did! The mid section is pretty flat so I kept a good pace and was actually feeling very good! The last 1.5k is mostly downhill, I was starting to struggle... I felt tired, my legs hurt, my lungs hurt but I was telling myself that it was almost over and I had to go on because I was doing a very good PR so I kept on going to the finish. When I looked at my watch after I crossed the finish line, I almost cryed because I was so happy and proud! It was my best time for a 5k!

Nothing! I pushed myself and it worked. I was planning a 28 min time for my 5k but I did a lot better because I listened to my body instead of my watch :-)

Walked around the stadium looking for my daughters and my husband who were also running the 5k.


Nothing, I was at my best that day!


I love the Montreal Marathon. For us, it's a family race. Every year, we all run it and always have a blast! It fun to stay a little to see the first marathoners arrive in the stadium and cheer them on with the croud! To see those international athletes is very inspiring :-)
