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.
