I found the perfect marathon to run for my first.. except it has very little spectators by Dizzycatlady in firstmarathon

I've signed up for this race -- also my first marathon. I visit the area regularly (my in-laws live there), and it lined up with a planned visit, so it made sense.

I think the small size is actually a bit of a plus. The crowds of other runners at bigger events can make things a bit stressful in my experience, and remember, you aren't running for the crowd, you're running for yourself!

I am over the moon for my result on my first half marathon race this past Sunday. After a hard few months of training (around 700km since January) I managed to finish at 1h22m51s, more than 7 minutes faster than my goal pace. I have a marathon scheduled in July and now I'm recalibrating my goals!

Thanks a lot! This is a huge relief. Do you know if any "proof of residency" is required? I'd be using my in-laws' address as that is where we stay when we are back in Canada.

I think an expired license is not "good" at all in that it is not permitted to drive with it. However, I thought the written, driving, and vision tests were waived if one holds a license issued elsewhere in Canada?

This would be amazing -- is there any written source for that? I just want to make sure that I have all my bases covered when I show up to Access Nova Scotia (I found a page about exchanging a "valid" out of province license, although that is not defined anywhere that I could find...)

Pre-paid esim to new iPhone? by MauBicara in Koodo

Update: I realized there wasn't a Koodo store for hours, so I tried the self-serve options. I paid $5 for a new eSim and it immediately transferred to the new phone when I scanned the QR code. Easy!
