Okay, I'll do it! I just need to confirn with husband about staying over night in Saint John. Are we going to the pasta party? If I pay for hubby, he can come right?

A few of the Manics are racing the Marathon by the Sea. I still may do the 5 miler butI don't know...
I AM however going to go down and watch and meet everyone.
Who's gonna be there? And where are we getting drunk?

Way to go! Feels great, I bet! I have got my sister trying running but she needs local motivation and I am more than a few provinces away. Anyone want to help? She is in St. Albert, AB :) just kidding. Just kidding that she is in St. Albert or that you want help? If I could get her help it would be...

I'm confident but I want to be injury free so I am backing off my Sep 25 racr to October 9th in Moncton. THat will give me 2 more weeks and my father-in-law and his wife can come to the finish! 10 weeks is a little better. This way I can still get in all the hill work I was SO looking forward to! :w...

110k for July.

Goal for August is 150! Let's see if I can do it now that I said I would!

You want to wear your tech shirt with blue jeans so you can always be in your running gear!

Second thing... I want to run a half marathon on September 25. I just started 1/2 training and according to the calender, I don't have enough weeks. Can I skip some of the early weeks if my base is strong enough? And maybe I will find a race a few weeks later if I can. Before I started training las...

Good luck Andy! Race safely! And have fun!

You are a running God! I could use use some of the coaching online too please!

Okay, so I went to Walmart today specifically purchase a Timex Heartrate monitor/ watch to time my 10-1s that start tomorrow. I want something that will let me know when the 10 is up and when the 1 is up and then keep repeating that. It didn't look like the Timex does...so does it and I can't read w...

Silly week one half marathon training only got to run 4k today. But I rode my bike to and from the gym to make up for it! he he

I work nights this weekend so gonna have a nap and head for work at 7:45.

Have a great day!

You know you are a runner when you shop for work clothes and wonder what type of running gear you could have bought instead... :) Paul I did that today at Winners! Bought some nice Tommy dress pants (that I could never have fit in before running) and a nice Nike tech shirt (so I look good running!)...

I feel like I am tapering with the cutbacks on distance in my new training program. But my body is thanking me. I think I needed a break longer than a day :? Last night was a short 3k. I never thought that I would be feeling lazy for only running 3k! Perspective is everything, isn't it?? Today is su...

See... there is a benefit to working nights! I was just sitting, watching the news, eating ice cream (of course) and realized its Thursday!! Today I am scheduled for only 3k on my 1/2 training but I to make up for the lack of exercise, I think I will bike to the gym and home (16k roundtrip) Gonna do...

It's where I got my Wigwam running sox.

I have Nike Dryfit and 2 pairs of Wigwams. They are great wicking sox. Love them!

Going for a half. I have a long, very gradual one around the corner I can use I think. It gradual enough that if your are driving you wouldn't really notice its a hill, but to run it, you notice right away. And its long. Takes me 4-6 minute to run it. Might that one work?

What do I look for in a hill for hill training?

How long? How steep? The % thing doesn't help me...

Thanks guys!

Day 4 of my 1/2 training today. It sure is nice to be going for shorter distances for a while. I had been up to 10 regularly and now I am only doing 3k today! Well if that is ALL I am supposed to do, who am I to complain!!??

Have a great day!
