Sean Chin, Marathoner. Crossing the 42.2KM finish line for the first time is the best feeling ever!! ????? Official chip time: 05:17:52.6. Obviously not the result I wanted. The race itself was brutal after 30km. Aerobically I felt great, but my left ankle was in pain and then both my legs just totally gave out. The marathon exposes. But I learned so much. Thank you to all the volunteers, spectators, @runcrs organizers, and @scotiabank for making this a memorable day of achievement for everyone and I. More thoughts to come….but for now, I need a hot shower and an all-you-can-eat sushi bar #STWM #STWM2018 #RunTO#THISIS30 #InfinitePotential #NoLimits

It’s been one year in the making. Last July, I took up running to enhance my level of fitness. I started at @runningroom_newmarket Learn to Run group. Then worked my way up to 5k, 10k, and then the Half-marathon distance. My goal has always been to compete a full marathon. Tomorrow is that day. I put as much physical and mental training effort in as I could. And while I didn’t get to have the entire block of speed work that I wanted near to the tapper due to my left foot extensor tendonitis, I still trust in everything I’ve done. Good luck to @attherockshow, @zuzieque, @blee3x, @shaneruns0630, & all 25,000 strong runners. All I can do now is make my way to the start line and have a beautiful race ????? #STWM #STWM2018 #InfinitePotential #NoLimits #HardworkPaysOff #MarathonTraining #JustDoIt #RunonClouds #RunwithRR
