I just ran my first marathon today. I finished in 3:46 with a pace of 5:18/km. Super happy with that, my goal was sub 4 hours. Probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done, some rolling hills at about 20km really kicked the shit out of my legs but I pushed on.
I started training about 6 months ago, I wasn’t sure if I’d be ready but I had a great time.
On to the next!
I’m about 7 weeks out from my marathon and my longest run so far is a half marathon, I feel like my training is going well but I should probably start adding some fuel into my long runs to help train my stomach. I’m looking at the honey stinger fruit smoothie gels, does anyone have any recommendations on certain brands of gels or any other types of fuel that will be sufficient for a marathon and my training. Thanks!
I filed my taxes early April of 2026, I waited and waited but still no return, so I called CRA and asked if they knew anything and they told me the expected date was July 4. It is now July 6 and I’ve received nothing and my status still says being processed. I just called to see what the hold up was and they are now telling me it’s August 17 2026. I feel like 5 months to wait for a basic tax return is a little absurd. I’ve never had any issues with them in the past.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?
Also wondering if I will be getting interest on the return? As my accounts are up 15% the past 3 months. I doubt they’d pay that tho…
