If like this past year around end of March, early April ... there was 7, 000+ Dopey's this year and will be interesting to see if they will increase the cap and/or how many will return for the Perfectly Dopey designation? It will also be he 10th Anniversarynof the Goofy Challenge, so suspect that t...

Can somebody tell me when 2015 registration is likely to be posted? Dh wants to do the Dopey.

Thanks!

Finished the Yonge Street 10K under sunny but cool conditions. It was a great run for me, considering I didn't train enough and have been overcoming an injury. I just love the start of races, all the people, they hype, the horn...

A new medal display might be a good idea since his has gotten rather overloaded this year. I will look into that. Maybe even a nice frame to put his bib and a photo in for the Ottawa marathon since I will be his official photographer. I got him Runners ID last year with his info and the quote "...

This is running related so I will post here. Admins, feel free to move to NRR if necessary. My husband is turning 40 in two weeks. He is an avid runner and has pretty much everything he needs, like the average obsessed runner. What do I get him for his 40th birthday? He is running his first marathon...

I have been MIA for a year, but I am back, so I may as well start the daily thread.

Rainy day here in Guelph, with a high of 23! No running for me today, but I do have my Runners Bootcamp this evening, which is an amazing workout.

I have a pretty decent mountain bike that is in great shape, so it looks like I will be okay. And here I was looking to get a new bike and you guys just squashed the story I was going to give my husband :wink: . Now to look into wetsuits! I will be starting my swim training in a lake in one month, a...

Thanks Jwolf. I will definitely look into a cyclocross bike after I survive this first tri (read: don't drown in the lake). If I like it then I can see myself doing the Sprint distance.

I am running. I am not well trained for a 10K at this time due to injuries, so I am hoping to just get out for an enjoyable run .

I haven't posted here in forever, but I was drawn back this week following the unfortunate events that we are all too familiar with :( . I haven't been running long distance, well anything past 10K, for the past year due to a range of injuries, so I have decided to give Triathlons a try and hopefull...

I can't imagine a more fitting way for a runner to spend her 50th birthday! What an incredible story. I hope you share it with iRun magazine or the RR magazine, because it would be such an inspiration to so many more runners. And yes, I shed a few tears as well :) . Happy belated 50th. Wow, you real...

Thank you for sharing your experience Ian. I am hoping the new RMT I see tomorrow is a good one, and we can determine the root cause of my pain, so I can decide if I should push it to run in 5 weeks during treatment/recovery. I was doing a speed track session tonight, and I could really feel the pai...

It is interesting you say disc herniation fe.RMT. I did have lower back problems a few years back, presumably a herniated disc. I have no idea what triggered my (assumed) piriformis. This is something I will definitely bring up to my RMT tomorrow, in case it is a factor that I am unaware of. I reall...

I really enjoying reading the Boston race reports, hearing about how awesome and resilient you Maniacs are. I am so impressed. Congrats on a great run, and thank you so much for sharing.

Does anybody have experience running through piriformis syndrome? I am pretty sure that is what I am dealing with right now, and as my mileage is increasing (training for a half marathon at the end of May), the pain in my butt is increasing. I am icing, heating, anti-inflammatorying, rolling, stretc...

What a great race report! Thank you for sharing. And congrats on your finish. Considering the conditions that you faced yesterday, finishing safely was a HUGE accomplishment! You rock.

Congrats to all you maniac Maniacs for running and finishing today! You are all heroes in my eyes. I can't wait to hear race reports...I think. And I am super relieved that everyone finished safely.

I am relieved that the two runners from Guelph who run with my husband have finished safely .

I see one of my friends finished in 3:52 (phew), and another has been tracked to 30K but nothing after that. Unless he is now walking he should be past 35K. I'm worried.

Congrats to all the Maniacs who have finished so far. Finishing in that heat is a HUGE accomplishment!

Thanks for all the updates everybody. I don't personally know any Maniacs running, but I am worried about all of them. I have three friends running, and I see one has made it to 40K so far, so that has given me some relief. I'm worried about the 65 year old though. So far he is tracked to 25K. I hop...

First time I've ever had the chance to start a thread.

16K done yesterday so today is a rest and chocolate day for me. Happy Easter all .

Rest day for me as I cheered on dh in Hamilton. He finished in 2:26:31. Now he can barely move. Poor guy. It was amazing watching him come in to the finish. I'm so proud . Congrats to all the other runners today. It was a beauty out there. Congrats on the PB Purdy65!

I just came here hoping to be the first for once, but you beat me to it scrumhalfgirl! I can hear the wind howling outside, and I am not looking forward to my 14K run this morning with winds up to 50 Km/hour. It's straight from the east so if I can keep my run in the right direction, and through the...

Are any of you meeting up afterwards, somewhere in Copps? I will be there meeting my dh after the race, and I'd love to come by and say hello to some Maniacs.
