A bunch of photos from the torch relay today. Includes our famous waaaaaaater break mini maniac!

And in Toronto a potential terrorist attack on VIA rail was diverted today ...

Maybe we should be listening to those scanners too

bondi bands has a few boston styles too https://www.bondiband.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HB-3000" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they posted on FB today they'd have a few more styles this week and adidas has announced they are going to make the 'Boston stands as one" t sh...

I followed on twitter and also had an online link to the Boston police scanners. Bizarre experience to hear the process unfolding. My favourite moment on the scanners though was listening to the police congratulate each other post the arrest. Now the question is, will we actually ever know the truth...

"It's a proud day to be a Boston Police officer" (commissioner's comment on the scanner post the arrest)

I had issues with this last year and it still acts up if I don't stretch. For me though the key to getting past it was stretching the psoas and illiacus. The stretch that worked the best was hanging one leg off the table like they show here: http://experiencelife.com/article/smart-stretching/" oncli...

When I listened to the race in the morning one of the elite women talked about watching the Boston marathon as a child and dreaming of running it never imagining she could actually achieve something like that and now here she was running as an elite runner in that same race. As I think about the 8 y...

John Binghams' post. I found it well written.

CNN is reporting that one of the two killed was an 8 year old child ... I truly hope this report is wrong!

deep sigh

One of my running friends from Cornwall was at the 40K at 2:39PM. There is no finish time and we suspect she did not get to finish. We do know she is safe with the rest of the local runners though. Would that put her around the same time as Ken?

At JFK in New York, no less.

No, not NY but at JFK Library in Boston

Ottawa Citizen online posted a list of all Ottawa area runners

CNN reports 2 dead 22 injured

Cornwall runners checked in. One of the runners phoned on behalf of all of them and the CMS club posted on their site so that is one group ok. sigh. Now for the RM runners and my niece's friend.

One report said they stopped the marathon so it sounds like there were still people n the route. Videos show runners running through the smoke and across the finish line. Now empty http://boston.cbslocal.com/live-video/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is covering life if you are not n...

CNN is reporting live

they are saying the explosions were off to the side not in the athlete area ...

OMG

reports of explosion at boston marathon finish line - 20-30 people injured in front of Boston Public Library after explosion at finish line of Boston Marathon - twitter is going crazy and social media is flooding with photos ...

Yup when I check the guide it lists it at 1. I may have to wait as the online feed hung then died. So far I can't get it back. Even cleared my cookies and then refreshed the browser but nothing ... Not sure I can watch at 1 though. Arranged my work from home day to be able to do easy work with the r...

Working for me too. Thanks

Strangely I found out my cable does carry rogers sportsnet but they are showing a bluejays game

Well that idea didn't work. Strange as I've used it other years but this year it now says: You can only watch this live event stream from the following countries: United States, Japan, Germany, Russia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Swit...

I usually use the link from their website:

The 2013 Boston Marathon will be streamed live online for free at

starting at 9:30 a.m. ET.

First run in a month. Between shoulder issues and then a horrid cold / strep I ended up not running since the first week of March. Today was a easy 3K at 2:1 to ease back into it. Definitely feeling the time off but overall not too bad. However I have decided not to do the half at ORW. Just too much...

posted today by MCM An Apology from Active: Have you ever had a race where after months or even years of training, eating right, investing in new gear, it went badly? This happened to Active last week and we're sorry. The registration experience did not reflect the iconic Marine Corps Marathon itsel...
