—@CalgaryMarathon"I've basically dedicated the last three-and-a-half years of my life to running," Gollish told CBC Sports in March. "It's always for fun but the dedication has been very different this time.
"Running is a priority in my life and I'm very fortunate that those around me are supportive of that. My priority is very much focused on getting my runs and workouts in."
