"Turning the corner onto Lafayette Avenue, I looked at my arm.

It was covered in goosebumps for the sixth time in the last 50 minutes. I’d been counting. Two hours later, the pain had set in and I was incapable of thinking anything so small. At that moment, there were 26.2 miles of the New York Marathon behind and I was crossing the finish line in Central Park.

It was a long time coming—eight months and three hours to be exact—of turning pain into more pain."

This week, Kevin Bailie, former Queen's men's hockey goaltender, reads Managing Editor Matt Scace's "Discovering My Limits at the New York City Marathon," published on Nov. 9, 2018.
