I'm jealous, RA. Now I want to run NCM.

Booked it - Friday to Monday. I'm excited to come to Ottawa! Have fun! I'm going in the opposite direction for the weekend as both my teams got into CTRR. Another time.... Greedy, greedy. 2 teams, when I have none. :P We should do a house exchange. You can stay with my roommate and I can stay with ...

I have 3 original pair of shuffle headphones in my house. You can have a pair (or all ) of them if you wish. I don't like them and bought others for me and J.

I'd run with you for that time, Dennis, but no way would I be chatting at that speed.

I made a decision this year NOT to buy Halloween treats early this year. I always eat them and need to buy more on Halloween eve anyway. I am now teaching in my neighbourhood, so I must provide treats on the night. However, I've had a brainstorm. This year, I am giving out all the candy I DON'T LIKE...

I'm so looking forward to the freedom this recent purchase will give me!

What did you get? Tell all about it!

:topic: 10k shallonge? Or, 5k Santa Shuffle in a few weeks? I'm not fast enough to keep up with you two, but I can try to not finish too far behind Stop that! You are too fast enough--and you've been training. :wink: I don't know. I might be too wimpy to try the Santa Shuffle...those hills....twice!...

ooooo-maybe we need to make a race here too!

hmmm, something to train for....I need that too.

I will!!

Let's schedule a fun run and/or workout this weekend--tomorrow evening or Saturday best for you?

I'm willing to commit. I *may* have 2 other runners interested from school. Will check tomorrow if they can commit too and get back here with the info asap.

I hope we can make this work.

Very interesting. Thanks IG, I will definately have a look at this. I have a few students who would be fascinated by this expedition.

Hey Jacqui, you can try Soles in Motion in Burnside (the strip mall across from Staples). They had the stick at the Bluenose expo sometime.

Way to go Lisa!

Good luck!
Lisa let me know today that there's live tracking. Her bib is 172.

hmm a 10 k on the other side of the country...sounds intriguing. Must see how this could fit into my plans.

of course, I'd need child care for an hour or so...

Unfortunately, when cooking for one, I usually eat cereal. Don't think you want that. However, I'll shop with you! I love small kitchen appliances.

There's a gazebo/bandstand in the park where they post the results. It's an easy place to find. I have no idea what I'll be wearing--but I'll probably be with Angela.

I don't ever remember seeing pace bunnies--but I've always run the 10k. What's your goal time?

Also, I've found with the 10k at least, that the km markers are off quite a bit so if you're planning on using them as a pace mark, be aware.

So, do the maniacs want to meet up in NG? I'll only be arriving the morning of the race, but will have time after I finish the 10k to cheer on the half runners (and any full that are out there)

Awesome! I love that it sounds that you were having fun the whole time. Félicitations!

Canada: Yukon NWT Nunavut BC elJeffe - East Van/North Burnaby... I'm on the cusp. seuss - West Vancouver Jwolf - Vancouver lisaannr - Port Coquitlam Run2Be-Kelowna blue_cup - Kelowna Alberta Samantha - Edmonton jordanne_la_banane - Edmonton FishPants - Sherwood Park Albertatraildog - St Albert Chad...

I've registered for the 10k, but am playing with the idea of switching to the 1/2--it's not too hard to switch distances there is it? I just have to wait and see how my ITB fares at CTRR.

Planning on the Johnny Miles 10k. Should go register.
