Dueling Marathons in Toronto versus Mississauga in 2011

Sunday May 15, 2011 will see the duel of the marathons in Ontario’s GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

Goodlife Fitness Marathon in Toronto

The Goodlife Fitness Marathon will run south on Yonge and east/west along Lakeshore in Toronto.

Mississauga Marathon

The Mississauga Marathon will start near City Hall at Square One, and finish at the Lakefront Promenade Park.

Dueling Marathons

The first duel was actually between the Goodlife Fitness and Scotia Toronto Waterfront marathons. Both held Toronto motorists to ransom in the autumn, just three weeks apart. After a protracted war of words, with City Council acting as moderators, the Goodlife Fitness Marathon was kicked into the spring season.

From what I remember, the Mississauga organizers made no public comment until someone realized that their beloved Mothers’ Day date was poached. (Although, to be fair, Mothers’ Day came a week earlier than those road races this year).

Now the battle has been joined between these civic powerhouses: which race will lose runners to the other?

Today’s Toronto Star reported that both have seen a drop in registrations. That’s a shame, since each earns serious donations for charitable causes. As the Star also noted, it would take at least a three to six week gap between marathons for most runners to decide to register for both.

The clear winner is the Scotia Waterfront Toronto Marathon. They now have what Mississauga used to enjoy: a date with no immediate local rival. In my humble opinion, this is the marathon that Toronto needs. Not the runners, but Toronto needs to nourish the race that holds the record for best time on Canadian soil. It only took about 40 years to wrestle that glorious title away from the 1968 Montreal Olympics.

It is still disappointing that most news articles focus on “drivers: beware of road closures” rather than “come out and cheer for people willing to train and sweat for the privilege of accomplishing a difficult goal”.

Please: sponsor anyone who asks. They will more than earn it.

R.I.P. Danny Kassap, Canadian Marathon Runner

As noted in the National Post and by other news media, Canadian marathon runner Danny Kassap died overnight May 1-2, 2011. Kassap was 28 years old.

He was best known for winning the 2004 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2004, in a time of 2:14:50. That improved the course record for “open men” by about 3 minutes…enough time to run another 930 metres, or well over half a mile.

A refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he lived for a time at Covenant House in Toronto. With hard work and a smiling nature, he achieved a better life for himself. This included attaining official “refugee” status and, later, his Canadian citizenship.

(Some of the above facts were noted from Alan Brookes’ Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon site).

He died a day after “not finishing” the Sporting Life 10Km run in Toronto, complaining of ill health. No cause of death was given. But, this was not the first time his heart failed.

In 2008, he collapsed while running the Berlin marathon. There, bystanders and emergency response staff administered CPR. A cold virus had stopped his heart; but he was revived and began a slow recovery.

Rest in peace, Danny Kassap.

Watching my Diet to Stay Trim

My site emphasizes exercise to control weight and become trimmer and fitter.

From the fitness angle…if I want to be fit enough for a given activity…exercise is king.

But the goal of maintaining a healthy weight is more about a healthy diet.

If Your Exercise Changes, So Should Your Diet

Did you see the movie in which Rodney Dangerfield ate a salad for dinner and said, “Now I have to walk off those calories. Excuse me”. He then went to a poker game and ate a pizza. He had pretended to reform but really had kept all his bad habits.

Hopefully you only joke when you claim that one minute’s exercise justifies another slab of cheesecake.

Truly, however, if your exercise levels change significantly, so should your diet.
The first cheap cialis course of action that most people rush towards for male impotence is the drugs containing useful substance like sildenafil citrate, Verdenafil, Tadalafil. One the most exciting offer with regards to http://nichestlouis.com/levitra-8353.html buy tadalafil from india is not available.

Today’s chiropractors utilize physical therapy, nutritional counseling, acupuncture, levitra on line and herbal therapies with the treatment of hormone imbalance which includes menopause, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue and thyroid dysfunction.
When I run 60 to 80 Km per week, I burn more than the equivalent of a pound of fat. I get quite hungry! If I’m trying to maintain my weight, this gives me a valid license to eat more.

Conversely, when my running dropped to about 30 Km/week, I need to eliminate about 2,000 calories from my diet.

The best choice was to reduce my bagel intake from 3 to 1. One bagel has as many calories as two to four slices of bread. Each slice of whole-grain bread that substituted for a bagel saved a “portion” of “grain products”, according to the Canada Food Guide.

That is just enough to keep my weight in check.
