I also find that the crappy runs are usually followed by great runs. A bad last training run on a Friday usually means a great race on Sunday. I can so agree with this. I've had a few runs where I stopped altogether or just pushed and still had a yucky crappy horrible lead-legged run. Funny enough,...

Welcome and congrats on such a good start to running!

I would love a tank top and some patches! Do we have to confirm size? Prolly a Medium

2007 will be a good one I bet (it also happens to be the year I'm turning 30)

Yay! I can't wait to hear a report - since I'm hoping to do this in 2007!!! I'm hoping to be there to register :) It sounds like there are A LOT of people wanting 2007 spots (maybe because 2007 is the 25th Anniversary of IMC). I wonder how early the line is going to start? Is the finish line close ...

Me too, I really am interested in this one. Maybe we will have to meet up for coffee one of these days.... :D Jocelyn 8) I missed the last Edmonton meet up! Maybe a Death Race meetup at Death by Chocolate? :) Sounds very yummy!!! I would be in. I'd be in for that even if I'm not doing the Death Rac...

Incredible! Thank you for the links!

Good luck and have a good time!

Oh wow - ultras are so cool. How long does the average person take to do 100k?

As for the Death Race - if a team (either RM or All girls RM) starts to form keep me in the loop!

I'm curious about it too... I've always wanted to try the Death Race. An all girls team sounds fun!

Anyone worried about doing a leg in the dark? bears? stuff like that?

Rest day for me - I'm running 16 k tomorrow morning - yipes!!!

Absolutely stunning day in Edmonton - warm breeze, sunshine and blue sky. Made it out for a nice 8 km run with two 'sit up' breaks.

Aha - I found info on it:

I didn't even think about the pee thing.

Ooh I'll have to give up Summerside - I really want to watch the IM :) I would like to volunteer at the IM Canada this year, if I make it - hopefully I'll see you there. I did the Woody's RV Triathlon in Red Deer in June - it was a good race. They have Olympic, Sprint and Try-a-tri distances. It's ...

good thing today is my last work day before my 5 off! yay!!


spin tonight.

Where do you spin?

I'm hoping to fit 7,8 KM in at lunch today. Had a horrible morning - unorganized and rushed so I'm in a bad mood.

Awesome job! I would love to crack 30 minutes for a 5KM - you must have been crusing... how did you feel?

14KM's today - the longest I've ever run... now for some weekend grocery shopping and family time

Rest day for me. Husband is out helping his friend do fix-it jobs so I'm being Mrs Domestic and washing clothes, floors, changing diapers, etc.

Tomorrow I'm slated to do a long slow 14 KMs. I hope it warms up. Why oh why am I training through winter??
