Great running everyone! Watched Strider go past me on the Lollypop, like I was standing still, looking strong and confident. Congrats on a great run! Saw Kinga and West Grey going the other way at some point or another, and had I nice yak with BJH after the 25K finish. Was totally jazzed to see a wo...

West Grey Runner, its my 4th Toad!

Volunteers, support, official cheering section

Mine seem pretty wide.... mind you I went with the men's model, as they didn't have big enough in the women's at the store I go to. But I've been having metatarsal/Morton's neuroma problems and so was looking for both a roomier toebox plus some motion control.

Just bought a pair from Running Free, and tried them out tonight on the TM..... love 'em!!!

Looks like they have an on-line option.

Congrats to everyone that finished!!! Got a chance to talk to Doonst and Annelizabeth before the start and Ron passed me early on in the first 20K loop, singing away to his iPod, looking strong. Saw Strider a couple of times, but it wasn't until after that I realized who it was. I bailed at about 32...

Just registered for the 50K.... it'll be my first.

Yes, it was a terrific day! Many thanks to Dave and Susan for a job well done. The course marking technique was quite new and I found it really easy to follow. Not much of a chance to go wrong, and marshalls where the trickiest bits were. Since I was almost bringing up the rear in the half, I was af...

Of course this is assuming I survive tomorrow's 20 miler...............

MotorCity.. Sorry, was in bed by the time you replied and have been slammed at work today. Expect you're already pretty much here by now, but in case you have internet access when you get here, I've a couple of suggestions. Pickering is a bit thin on fine dining, but a couple of places might fit the...

My training partner shot this on the trail two days ago....

MotorCity..... I live in Pickering.....what kind of food are you looking for?

I can't comment on the drop bags, but there's no Friday pickup for the bibs. Don't worry, your hotel is only 10 minutes from the Start/Finish.

I'm running the 29K, and seriously hoping that rain moves out to Sunday! Was out there myself 2 weeks back and agree this is going to be a quagmire. Also not exactly impressed by many of the trail "improvements". Hoping that I'll be there early on Saturday to see the 50 mile and 52K starts...

I too ran by that guy on the road Sunday, as a woman was administering chest compressions. Not a scene that I'm going to forget for a long time. When I headed home on the Go train, another participant described to me how he'd seen him fall, almost like he was shot... hitting his head on the pavement...

I have a friend at work, a newbie runner, who's convinced a few of us to sign up with her. ... or rather I should say the promise of beer at the finish convinced me! Given the LR in my schedule for the day before and my total lack of speed work to date, I guess this'll be a nice supported recovery r...

You're staying at McCowan and 16th? The Centennial Go station is right down the road, just north of the Markville mall! Looks to me like the first train/bus (can't tell) leaves at 6:38, gets to Union at 7:10, then hourly after that. Cab would be way expensive from there! http://www.gotransit.com/pub...

Oh Deanna, I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express.......................

16K thru the Rouge valley trails early this morning...... cold and crisp and beautiful!!!

And not just CNN.... we also hit Perez Hilton's site!

What a craptastic day. 19K in the rain and slush on muddy, hilly backroads, with cars spraying crud all over me. Glad it's done.

It was a blast meeting you all!
Conditions for this were perfect and the looks on shoppers' faces were priceless!

Happy Birthday, La!

Drat, sorry I missed BT today! Guess I'll see you all on Saturday.

I waited until after work to go out to run.....10K at -8°C, easy pace. I want to hold off on the TM as much as I can..... we have them lined up in front of a mirror at work...... not crazy about the view!!!

6K run at lunch, just to get out in the sunshine and stop feeling like a mole. At -12° with windchill, all cheeks were cold!

8.6K down thru Wilkett Creek park and back on snowy sidewalks along Eglinton and Don Mills Rd. Glorious!!!!
Except for the exhaust fumes!
...and the chilly glutes!
