Way to go Kevin!  Remember that it was not so long ago you were struggling to finish a 5K and now you've done a half marathon!  Enjoy the post race glow

Fantastic run! That's a great milestone to tuck into your belt. Congratulations.
I was thinking about doing the Niagra marathon next year. How did you like the course?

Grant, I loved the course it was most flat with a slight down hill right near the end. It was very scenic, Niagara river on the right and beautiful homes on the left. My main suggestion would be to stay at the host hotel so you don't have to pay for parking. We were fortunate because there was little wind that day but I have heard when the wind is strong it could be a bitch.
