I’m signed up for Calgary’s The Game of Life run at the end of the month. It’s a 10k race along the Bow Valley in Calgary. Proceeds from the race will go to grassroots sport programs in Africa and the Caribbean.
It’s been so long since I’ve done a 10k race. The short distance will be a good test for me. Half-marathon and marathon training has put speed and shorter distances to the back of my mind. I know they are important to do for a number of reasons. Now that I live between two larger cities, I’m able to do these shorter distances without too much trouble.
The race swag is pretty sweet too. We get a medal and technical shirt. And a Mizuno shoe bag. Top finishers get a certificate for new sneakers, water bottle and other fun stuff.
