Toronto 5km for Sick Kids Hospital

Brooke and Pam decided to run 5km for Sick Kids Hospital.  A dreary cool morning, Pam had to get up at 5am, and drag the kidlets out of bed for 5:30am.
All were good, except Miss Piper who lately SUCKS at mornings!  A stop for gas and coffee, and muffins for the kids and we are on our way.

Toronto had the Don Valley closed, so we had to detour, but made it in plenty of time!  Brooke was just parking and getting out of her BMW as we pulled up!  Scott dropped me off so he could park. Grumbled good bye, and maybe good luck......and I went to tag my number on and get ready.

The announcer was talking and over 10,000$ was raised for Sick Kids!  AMAZING!!  They didnt have a chip mat, so there was a gun (air horn) start, and we were off!

Pretty nice course, some gorgeous houses in the area, a few down hills and come around thru a small business area, and then a slight incline and a straight away to the finish line.
