A tragic incident happened in North York today and ended just outside my work. A van drove on the sidewalk for about 2km killing 10 people and injuring 15. I was having lunch across the street at Kinka Izakaya just 10 minutes before this happened. My prayers go out to those who have been affected by this incident.

This was the scene outside my work as I was going home.

I was very touched when a few of the North York RunNinjas reached out to check if I was okay. They are really like family.

Despite our heavy hearts, we continued with our run tonight. It was a beautiful shorts and t-shirt weather day. We just did EZ pace because I needed to recover from yesterday’s 15-min sprint. On a happier note, Rishi managed to run 5km with us for the first time! It’s so amazing to watch his progress and persistence!

Nutrition log:

• Pre-run: tuna sandwich 1 hour before
• Mid-run: water
• Post-run: homemade ramen 🍜 with roasted pork belly, broccoli and bean sprouts. The egg didn’t turn out too well but I had 2 anyway. Forgot to take a picture of it because I was so hungry! 😄
