Well done Andy - I'm always impressed and in awe with how you are willing to give of yourself. That is what makes Andy such an awesome friend. Truly a kind soul. I feel very lucky to have him at my side as often as I do when I run since he is just happy to be out there doing what gives him joy even...

Congrats again on the race and awesome report!

Awesome race, congrats!

Congrats again on the huge PB and BQ! Great report and great job with the mental! Glad some tunes helped you "Push It (Push It Real Good)".

Cool idea and definitely more appealing than most disney stuff for me. To make it worth the trip they should add a marathon so you can do a Goofy/Dopey type weekend. They could call it The Admiral Ackbar - "IT'S A TRAP!!"

Congrats on finishing another half marathon despite having a tough day!

Well done! Congrats on a hitting your pacing goal on a humid day!

Nice pacing!

Just back from the expo, lots of booths. HM shirt is mainly white with red trim and maple leaves detailed into the trim - very nice! 10km shirt is a disappointingly bland generic blue shirt, no trim - what gives? Didn't see the marathon one, was too busy crying about the bland blue shirt! I just go...

I'd second NMG's suggestion of South March Highlands. From the Brookstreet, it's an even shorter run across the golf course (well technically it's a public path that runs next to the course) to a short trail that runs between Herzberg and Carling Ave. Here's the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/...

New York "four" me as well.

Great report and pictures! What an amazing experience.

Sold to a friend/co-worker. Anyone have a marathon bib that they're looking to unload?

Anyone in need of a 1/2 marathon bib? Thought I would offer it here before putting it up on the general bib market site.

That's awesome and should be quite the adventure! Good luck with your training.

I was getting excited when you said Vancouver but it's actually about 3 hours away from here. Sounds like fun though. :) 3hrs is nothing, I'm thinking about coming from Ontario. Cake and Nutella are pulling me in. I just meant it's not something you can just go to in the morning- requires road trip...

First day of a new program and first hill workout in ages. Warm up, 6 hill repeats and cool down came to 6.5kms. It's good to be back on a schedule with structured workouts.

I wear this line of shoes (starting with the 768 IIRC) and after 769 they did jump back to 760. They then jumped to 860. It's been a while since I bought a pair since I had a few pairs stocked up (I'm on my last pair of 860v2 now) so I think they're up to v3 or v4 of the 860 now.

I had to click to check that too. My guess was "What Would Sydney (Crosby) Do" because of the hockey game today.

Another 'Scotiabank' run!

ORW's new slogan: "You're faster than you think!"

I'm in! I'm insanely excited about it but, yeah, the sticker shock is pretty extreme! From everything I've heard, it's worth it though and NYC is the one big marathon I've always wanted to run (from even before I was a runner). I haven't booked anything yet but I found this thread about hotels from ...

Another running one went up over the weekend (language warning):

Not as great as the original one but still pretty good.

I'm doing the 25k.

I'm sad to be missing it this year. It's been one of my favourite races the last two years. Have fun!
