Two years ago Mike MacRae start-
ed walking on his daughter's tread-
mill.
On Sept. 29, hand-in-hand, he and
his daughter, Denise O'Leary of
Mitchell, crossed the finish line at
the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
"The race was wonderful. We had
a great time," he said of the race.
"For both of us it was quite an
accomplishment. We both run but
that was the icing on the cake."
Both ran a half -marathon, or 21.1
kilometres, for the first time.
MacRae, a Dublin native, worked
for MDS Laboratories and sat in a
car for 10 hours a day before he
semi -retired to Egmondville.
"My weight was getting out of
range and I decided in January two
years ago, I would start to exercise,"
he said.
MacRae start-
ed walking, then
running, then
running out-
doors, then run-
ning further and
further. In that
period he
dropped his
weight from 215
lbs. to 158 lbs.
"When you
start to run, you
get 'the feeling.'
You wake up in
the morning and
you can hardly
wait to get out
there again,
even though you
get a pain in
your legs and
your knees and
your muscles
and everything
else," he said.
"It seems to be
secondary
because I get
such an enjoy-
ment out of the
accomplishment
of being able to
do such a thing,"
he continued. "I
don't think I
could have done
that when I was
25. It's just
something I
have built
myself up to and
I enjoy it." .
MacRae said he
and O'Leary did
the half -
marathon because his daughter
decided it might be a nice thing to
try and do.
"So off we went, four days after
my 59th birthday," he said.
"The best part was to be there
with D (Denise) crossing the finish
line. It was really emotional, very
rewarding," he said.
