Toronto Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon
Hello there!
Just wondering if anyone is training for the upcoming Toronto (half)-marathon? I am training for my first half-marathon! I am really excited, but very nervous!
What other upcoming races are people training for? Is it your first one, or are you a seasoned veteran? Any tips for a newbie to get over first race jitters?

Hi Karlee
I will be running the Scotia half this year - I am actually running the Queens City Marathon in Regina on Sept 11th - so a half run a month later will work just fine for me. Race nervousness is normal and I am actually nervous myself for this weekends race even though I have run 5 other marathons, 7 halfs and a whole bunch of other distances. Run with your body, race with your mind - this was a view from Dr. Stan, a sports psychologist, that trains some of the U.S. teams Olympic Marathoners. Know that your training will benefit you and that you are capable of completing the race. It's a mental process more than a physical one - the human body can do incredible things. What is your training like ?? Are you with a group ? On target for pacing,etc. ?? What other distances / races have you run ??
