The Race Results

The St. Patrick's Day 10k was a huge success!

So to recap I had two goals I set prior to running the race which were to finish the race in 55 minutes and raise $1000 for the Children's Stollery Hospital Foundation.  Both of which were not only reached, but pretty much blown out of the water.

My official run-time for the race was 50 minutes 31 seconds, finishing four and a half minutes ahead of my goal with a pace of 5:04 per km, and finishing 42 overall in the race.  Those results I'm definitely happy with.

The goal of reaching $1000 was actually reached in February so I doubled the goal and ended up with a total amount of $1796 raised for the Children's Stollery Charity.  I didn't have any idea of how much funds I could actually raise, but to raise that amount was surprising and inspiring.  Its not too hard to get psyched for a run looking at the amount of donations received and all the kind words from family and friends.

So Thank You everyone for donating and for supporting us (Kenzie, Jill and Me too!) through Jill's pregnancy, Kenzie's birth & hospital stay, right through to the run.  Your support made this charity run a BIG success.

I will be posting some pictures and an update to the charity section of the website shortly so do stay tuned!
