Might have helped Nick! That said my rounds (on Garmin) are about 9.8km.

I certainly (with the 7:30 start) had the room to tee one up on the Linc and try for a new distance record! Imagine talking about 1,900 yard drives.

Awesome!! That'S a great goal to have! And I understand the part of being heavier and slower etc etc! Time to get off the couch (for both of us!) ;-) New rumour.....is it the same couch as Stephan???? I was just thinking they would make a great couple! :) Solo and Stephan Sitting in a tree ...... :...

his words: stop running, become a triathelte i don't get it. don't triathletes run? or is he just saying that you shouldn't run as much ?? My favourite physio guy - Russell Gunner at ORC - notes how little work he gets from triathletes and how much from runners. Hang in there campbellskid. DV

...having a really hard time keeping motivated and getting out there when I need to. 20 lbs heavier and slower, I have found myself being cranky and irritable of late... ditto on the weight - for motivation: I'll match you on the way back down? Looser buys a round of Guinness at a future M&G? T...

getfit - what a great quote, hadn't read it in the proper context until now: " That's the beauty of running - with enough delusion and even a small dose of endorphins, a guy can talk himself into anything " Jeff Pearlman (Runner's World) Thank you all for your comments, I am "enjoying" the nice feel...

Remember the famous line from Apocalypse Now?

I was planning to park at G.T. French Paper Products, seems closest and might even be a good warm up walk/run if I don't want to wait for the shuttle. Great! Can you circle back after and make sure I get a ride? around 2:15 would be great :oops: will need dgrant's blister cure for sure. :wall: So f...

Hello AlfiefromPickering - I was up that way yesterday (first time in that neck of the woods) - Mapquest did a good job of getting me around. I am sure the race organizers cannot advertise/suggest parking on private property- the bowling alley and Leon's parking across the street looks very tempting...

do you need to get a special tire for it so that your usual outdoor tires don't wear down? It is a good idea..I didn't change mine over yet and sure enough - blew my workout with a flat (none outdoors this year - just two indoors) Workout lost as I cannot figure how to get the new tire on -very ver...

Modest expo - keen volunteers...reg board was just going up at 4:10 (was to open at 3:00).. No Chips given out until Sunday. Wish I'd saved the carbon footprint ...and just picked up Sunday.

Picking my kit up at 3:30 Friday, will report about the goodie bag by dinner. don't forget about the shuttle from parking Sunday (or warm-up chance for some of you...)

Donald - to change your (own natural) foot strike position. Start a series of drills at home - running/stepping fast in place on the balls of your feet plus some "A"s a step, lift knee up and then extend foot forward to land onthe ball.

Happy retraining and be patient.

So what do you consider your proudest ?....

Probably the last goal my father saw me make (I led the league..it was the...
