Run a half-marathon... checked

Not me, Marie-Josée. You remember she was training for that. She wanted to do it in September 2008 but things happened.
Well she ran the hypothermic half-marathon this Saturday February 21 at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

A race of 21.1 km along the river at -15 celsius with westerly winds of 25 km/h. She did it with an injured knee but still managed a time of 2:34. Note that I'm not saying that she finished it, because for me that was a given. It's her time that impresses me. Imagine in the summer with a healthy knee she will certainly do it in 2h15, a very respectable time for a second half-marathon.

After that I feel small when I can not kick myself in the ass to go 3 km on the treadmill.

Here are some photos:
