WAY TO GO - PB are the best and on a tough day - you know you can be a lot faster - it was not the best conditions - WOW

Way to go leading the pack - You know a lot of people were counting on you and you didn't let them down - Fine Race

Not all races can be PR's. Every race will make you stronger, either mentally or physically. This was not an easy race, but you will use it in future races. Enjoy what your have accomplished and leave the rest behind. Damn fine job. Now recover

Welcome to racing in January in Ottawa. You ran well, it was tougher that it looked out there. You did well, be proud. There are 17 weeks till NCM, recover from this before you make and decisions. The NCM is a blast....

I registered for this race back in December, knowing full well that I would be running it two weeks after the Houston Marathon. This was the 3rd year for this Ottawa Race and the 3rd year I would run it; it is a tradition for me. So I had two weeks to recover, rebuild and taper for the race, which e...

Erin: yes you are allowed to wimp out once in awhile. :) Karen: Nytol is my friend. ;) I always keep some on hand due to long-term sleep issues. I take it about once a week, just to ensure that I get ONE good sleep! I have a prescription, but I have been using it ALOT lately so I was trying to go w...

Funny, not in a good way, I have had the exact opposite results. I find the number 1 item are the RED LED blinking lights, number 2 is Reflective Material and number 3 is the Head Lamp (unless it is blinking, but try running with that, makes me dizzy). As I drive around my neighbourhood, I have look...

Sorry, I won't be going. I went the first year, when the race ran from the Bank Street running room, but last year I just headed home. My primary goal this year will be getting home and getting in the Hot Tub.....ahhhhhhh
The food was good though the year I went.

tee hee - I thought..."wow, who's racing at the end of January?!!" :shock: I am. :oops: thanks! :) Who else is racing this weekend? Ottawa Hypothermic Half Irongirl I'll be at the Ottawa Hypothermic Half too. Not too sure what I'll be wearing just yet, it is going to be cold - but I'll try and wear...

I am one of the lucky ones. When I started running, and was getting serious, Mrs S was tolerable, but maybe a little unsure what it was all about. When I made the switch from evening runs to morning, it made home life a lot simpler. Fast forward to last year when she started running, she slowly got ...

WOW, just WOW. You made it sound so easy - I know it wasn't, or was it?

I am humbled

Mighty fine job. Good on ya.

It is indeed, Strider. The instructor, Caroline, is fantastic! Definitely worth going. I did a drop in ($14) and it was worth every penny! ETA - Kelodie, it is runner focused and is in Kanata, very close to my home. Tuesday nights. Thanks - cwap - 8:10-9:30...I am usually crashed on the couch by th...

If that the Yoga class put on by Donna at Forest Hills? My wife and I were thinking about giving it a try.

Out at my regular 4:50 am for 10.5 k in 56:00. Quads are still recovering. Looks like I'll do a 3 day taper before the Hypo 1/2. Rest Thu/Fri and short 20 minutes on Saturday. 1/2 on Sunday. Next week will be a TOTAL rest week, then 16 weeks to go until NCM. I have to start putting together my sched...

Seeing I am the new kid on the block, I thought as part of introductions I would post my Houston Marathon RR. My wife was with me and ran the 5k. We had just the best weekend...
