Come visit me instead

Um no. You're coming here. I've put my foot down!

I'm out of town this year

I guess you don't wanna go for the "hurt" in Ft Lauderdale, just before hopping on the ship for a 7-day cruise, in February, eh ??? :shifty: :wink: I don't know if that's ideal...I'm not arriving till 7pm the night before after travelling with my toddlers all day :lol: I was thinking it'd...

If you can do as well as you did with less consistency in your training this time, then you're in line for an awesome next marathon and future seasons. Think about Ian's theory that you often see the real results of the training cycle in the NEXT marathon season. I know you're not planning a spring...

86 is old enough for me. And to go after running a marathon...at that age... bliss. My attitude may be skewed by watching my mother go through the ravages of Alzheimers though. I was sad when I first heard it, but then when I thought about it a bit more, yeah, I think I'd be happy to go this way to...

That's the "thank god I can stop running soon smile"!!! I knew I was over my time goal, so I wasn't happy, but I was pretty glad to be done running. I'm a bit torn on which photo to have printed (I know, I could have them all, but I only have so much wall space). The bridge one or the fini...

So close! So bloody close!!! After running 4:05 at Ottawa in the spring, it looked like breaking 4hrs in Hamilton was possible. But then I did the silly thing of starting a new masters program with a heavy course load (and still working part time) in September, and I started missing runs. I maxed ou...

Way to go, Bunny! Though it sounds like Jes didn't really need you on the day. ;) Yeah, I know... :( but, I was there to hold her water bottle a couple of times, however... :shifty: :lol: :wink: :oops: Yeah, that was really handy :D But seriously, it was a huge mental boost to have a friend with me...

Pic? I've seen the video!

You are a trooper. I'm even more impressed after seeing it

Yay! I don't have to write a race report!! Excellent!!!

Andy covered the highlights --I'll add a few more thoughts later.

Ok, signed up for the half!

I'm so glad I didn't see you again out on the course! :D I was keeping an eye out for you, but I was hoping not to see you --- you took off pretty quick at the start, never to be seen again. But turns out I wasn't too far behind you :D Sorry about your fall - but I bet Joe got some good photos of it...

I'll be there in some capacity. My MIL expressed interest in walking the 2k, so we might do that. Or I'll just run along the TTC like in past years.

Well, I'm glad you didn't get poisoned

Great job on the run. Sounds like there were lots of challenges, but you pulled through. Well done.

I always forget they're even there.

2007, also known as the good ol'days!

Although this is on the topic of NYC's proposed Big Soda ban, the author makes some very valid points about how we really don't have much choice (real or perceived) when it comes to our food. The claims she makes in the second quote are American, obviously. I'm not sure what that looks like in Cana...

That's amazing! It sounds like this is going to be a really positive change!

Joe is going for a sleep study next month, for many of the same reasons you mentioned. A machine sounds like a pain, but if this is what's needed to get some sleep, then so be it!

... am hesitant this year with the change of location, plus having another destination race the week after, so $$$budget is a bit tight to do both ... Perhaps, again next year, depending on how the reviews come in on a looped course around the Island ... That pretty much sums up why I'm not going t...

We will, thanks

I should say too, that I LOVE the shirts from this race! I have 2 of them and wear them quite a lot. I didn't run last year, but the shirt is one of my favourites

Me too, me too!!!
