| More
than 23,000 people raced through Ottawa and Gatineau streets
for the annual Canada Army Run on Sunday, including Canadian
Armed Forces personnel, ill and injured soldiers and civilian
participants.
Rachel Hannah finished first in the women's
half marathon with a time of 1:16:00.
Thomas Des Brisay finished first in the
men's half marathon with a time of 1:12:25.
The top injured, ill or disabled finishers
were Joey Desjardins and Christine Gauthier.
Longboard athlete born without fully developed
limbs in Ottawa for Army Run
Prior to the half marathon, there was a 5K event. The top
finishers were Katie Phillips (women), Alex Berhe (men),
Ruth Hurst (injured/ill/disabled women) and Mohammad Khashan
(injured/ill/disabled men).
About the Run:
From the cannon used as
a “starter’s pistol” to the “dog-tag”
medals soldiers place around all participants necks at the
finish line, this unique event is “military”
from start to finish. More than anything, though, Canada
Army Run, is about Canadians and the Canadian Armed Forces
– Air Force, Army, and Navy – joining together
in the spirit of camaraderie and community. It’s a
chance for the troops to extend the military esprit de corps
to Canadians and to thank them for their support. And, it’s
an opportunity for Canadians to say thanks to the men and
women who serve them in so many ways at home and abroad.

Rocks!! members MIke Wilson and Yves Robichaud
as well as many others ran in the Army run 5k or half
marathon on Sunday morning. Some even competed in the
(2) race Commanders Challenge. In this event you run a
5k at 8:00 am and then line up at 9:30 am to complete
the half. The rewards are great as Mike explains below.
Commanders
challenge finished. Not our best time but it got a little
warm. But our pains , and aches pale in comparison to
the effort the injured soldiers put forth today. Amazing

of swag for this one .. three shirts two medals and a
commanders challenge metal !!
i kept
asking if I won .. all that stuff I was certain I won.

For You Vincent

Lindsay and Vincent

This past Saturday I took part in the 10th annual
Marchons, Courons Trécesson (http://www.mctrecesson.org/)
which offers a 5km, 10km, 20km and kids 1km/500m for free. I
ran this year’s 10km race in honour of Vincent. Last year
we ran this race together (his first 10km which he absolutely
killed in under 44mins) and had planned to do it again together
this September. It’s an interesting course in that it
involves running on pavement, gravel, grass and single-track
trails with a few sharp turns all while going around Lac Beauchamp.
I woke up to pouring rain that morning but it
could have been -50C and snowing and I still would have ran
it. Somehow the rain held out during the race and it was perfect
running conditions. Physically, I felt great during the race
which isn’t always the case, but mentally it was a different
story. I was not fighting my self-doubt but rather trying to
hold back tears for not having Vincent beside me this time.
I ended up running this race with a good friend from Val d’Or
which brought comfort and I believed saved me from a few full-on
tear feasts.
I finished 2nd female in just under 45mins (because it is a
free event it isn’t timed so you will just have to believe
me!), but the result didn't really matter this time. I'm proud
of myself for finishing what I think will be my most mentally
challenging race ever.
For you, Vincent.
