Race Update, Sorry for not Posting a race update early but the race did not go well. It was a very cold and windy day, not the greatest running conditions but still manageable. There were a ton of racers there and lots of friends to cheer on my co-worker and myself. Warm-up was short as I arrived a ...

Wow, thank you for all the great advice so far. Here is a little more info on what I have been doing. Most of my training has been between 5 and 10k runs. I usually try to beat my previous best on every other run. No tempo runs, no repeats and no hill or speed work. All of which I am being to see as...

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted in a very long time. But I need some help. I have been trying to improve my 5K time for a while now. I have it down to about a 25:30 but I just can't seem to break that. ( I did hit a 23:55 once but it was down hill and the wind was at my back) There is a Race on March ...

Rest tonight and then 9K in the morning before work!!

Wow the quarter on Saturday and the half on Sunday. I am tired just thinking about it. Nice time on the half. :) I was there running the 5k, (bib# 724) I didn't wear my RM gear as I didn't think my effort would do the logo proud. I heard there were a few other Maniacs here as well. Congrats again Al...

Nice time and nice report.... I am actually glad I missed this one!!!

Shirt arrived yesterday, looks great, fits great and took 25 seconds off my course PB already.

Thanks Dave

Just wondering, I am looking at a pair of ASICS MENS GEL NIMBUS VII - Brand New from the states. Price plus shipping costs would come to just under $85 canadian. Sportchek is selling them for $129.99 plus tax! Do you have to pay duty or canadian taxes on stuff from the states? What have been your ex...

I am doing the one in Oshawa.

But if the 27.8% number is close to right, clearly your 198 pounds is not all muscle. :roll:. It is, I am just storing it as fat until I need it :lol: Seriously though I have weight 195-199LBS for the last 3 1/2 years. I gained 30+ LBS with the birth of my first Daughter and haven't been able to dr...

It was, My total hydration was 53% apparently very low.

also the impedance was 477 ohms (sp?) if that matters!

Congrats Lightning great time How long have you been training for this?

I just got back from our monthly weight/ bodyfat clinic here at work. My BMI is 30.1. That's obese....WTF??

5'8 - 198 Lbs (all muscle )

Body fat% 27.8 (I am almost 1/3 fat! )

Another forced rest day for me. I cut my leg on Saturday night., well more of a scrap and a bruise. While on a 7k training run I ran into a fire hydrant...( I know). I was admiring another female runners speed ( really, it was her speed that I was interested in she was very fast). She was across th...

Way to go Lesley, it has been great reading all your ups and downs leading up to this race. I am very impressed and jealous. You almost want to make me run a half ( almost, 5k is still kicking my butt).

Congrats

Good Luck to the Orange Army!!!

Susan I am very jealous of your six pack, I have a KEG

Interval night with my coach. I was worried. Last time I did intervals it was at the track on base with Aaron in the car waiting and I bombed! In fact, I stopped running them less than half way through and just did a easy run after that. That was 2 weeks ago... So tonight, I was nervous about my pe...

Has anyone else notice more "stuff" about running since they started running? Like TV ads, Articles in the paper, signs about up coming races? For Example, I have an issue of Men's Health Magazine. I've had it since Feb/March. I've read it cover to cover many times since then. I just noticed there i...

If you are talking about the hills in the main part of town, (coming from Collingwood (sp?)). Then those would be big to anyone! I get tired just driving up them?

They must have taken their focus off of the running/training side of the shoe game.

Does anyone wear Nike's anymore????
