In this sport, it seems that inspiration can be found nearly anywhere you look...from watching Ed Whitlock spend the last decades of his life outrun time itself, to witnessing Moh Ahmed tear up the track ...competing at the highest level after beginning life in the turbulent Somalia. I would say that the Canadian Marathon Championships this past weekend were no different: Trevor Hofbauer making a heroic 2:18 debut for 1rst after leaving his Alberta life behind to quite literally chase a dream, Leslie Sexton, putting in some giant mileage around he employment, seeing her hard work come to fruition as her first Canadian marathon championship, and of course, our two guests this week, 3rd Canadian across the line, Aaron Cooper talks about being self coached to a national medal while being a father and working full time, as well silver medalist Lyndsay Tessier, a late arriver to the sport and a full time teacher talks about her breakout year.
