TORONTO — It has been difficult for Canadian runner Sasha Gollish to concentrate on her usual preparation for this weekend's TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
Recent world events — most notably the surprise attack on Israel by Hamas nearly a week ago — have been on her mind.
Gollish, a 41-year-old engineer with a PhD, came out of retirement at 32 after a decade away from running and has since competed for Canada at several global events. "I think sometimes we take for granted the safety that we have, particularly in the city of Toronto," she said."Yes, every city has its challenges.
"My stress levels are up and my body is trying to take care of itself the best that it can," she said."But it's also a reminder that there is definitely a heaviness and a stress in my life which is not surprising given the events that are going on in the world."The competition will also have a home-race feel for Dayna Pidhoresky, a 36-year-old Vancouver resident who grew up in Windsor, Ont., about a four-hour drive west of Toronto.
