Hello from the USA! Is it warming up where you are? Have you been able to run and train? Hello! The temperature lately has been fluctuating up and down quite drastically for the past couple of weeks. We have had it go up to summer temperatures and back down to winter temperatures again twice. Almost May, and still seeing snow!  Woah, that's crazy. Are you able to train in those type of conditions? Indeed. I would prefer seasonal temperatures, that's for sure. Still possible to train, although snowy trails or even just cold temperatures definitely makes it more challenging, and it's hard to tell how close I actually am to being in marathon condition.  How many marathons have you ran in the past? Sounds interesting. I have completed the Toronto Marathon for the past 23 consecutive years. I've also participated in many local fundraising events, so it's hard to gauge how many in total, but maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 events in that span of time.  Woah, that's amazing! Have you won any marathons? When I was younger I did fairly well. I ran track for the University of Toronto, but not well enough to compete after the collegiate level. I've never won the Toronto Marathon due to the international attention and level of competition, but I've won a few of the more local events!  I believe you can win one if you keep trying! Haha, thanks! Very kind of you, although now that I'm well past my prime, I don't have a chance at all against the elite talent that attends. Still, my goal is to see how well I can do relative to my age group. As long as I'm doing well for my age, I'm happy with that.  What's a good standing for your age group? I'm hoping to at least be in the top 10 for my age group. I've come second a couple of times in my age group standings. Franz from Sweden has been the bane of my marathon existence since the late 90s.
