I know. For $1000 I could have hired her to pace me to a pb in the half.

With her competitive nature I bet she would have spanked you!

It would have cost me $1,200!

I wish I'd taken that trip to a Vegas.

On my way into work this am (gawd it was dark ) the local radio station played "We're on the Eve of Destruction" at 6:05.

I am trying not to make any comments; this is a family board.

UPDATE on what NOT to expect this year 1) funding for the race is low, so there will be no medals and bring your own food, but there will still be a shirt and chip timing 2) the 10 km race has been cut 3) you can get a refund if you request one by Dec 10th 4) leave plenty of time to find the venue ...

No 10 k this year.

I've posted about this series before. The no frills approach (no swag, no timing chip), and the low ($15) fee is a great way to keep fit in the winter. This is the 2nd of 4 events, a 5 km starting from Couchiching Park in Orillia, and it's getting more popular each year. When I left the house at 8:4...

Plenty of freezing rain here. I did the Snowflake Series 5 km in Orillia. Should have worn my skates.

Very impressive. Congrats

Greatvrace Ken, that time is excellent on that course.

There is a "Shop" tab you can click on. The price is $149.95.

Way to go speedy

You may not have accomplished what you wanted, but it's quite an achievement.

Done.

Had planned to run the 1st race of the 2012-13 Snowflake Series, however we got hit by a lot of snow Friday night & Saturday, so the roads are very icy so I bailed. On Wednesday I ran outside in shorts, it was 15 degrees, now winter is here.

Hey QC, this is a family board.

Was it really Lance Armstrong? :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: There is no evidence that Lance Armstrong had never been caught nor tested postive for doping, Doonst .. while this guy was caught on camera ...

Maybe the race organizers should take note of this.

Crappy, but that's what non-refundable.

Yes, I am sure you expected the race to be held when you signed up. Not refunding the $$ is inexcuseable and a blatant rip off IMO.

We're waiting.......

The Post is a rag that uses sensationalist headlines, and that column is just one idiot's opinion. The writer has his panties in a knot because she blamed the media for some of the problems. As if the media never does anything wrong.
The column is a waste of paper.

Yep....didn't think a refund was possible, they have to recoup the money they spent on merchandise and all that. The least they can do is at least allow everyone that entered this year to pay half next year Altogether, for the participants, it has been a difficult situation! I agree that the politi...

I just heard that the marathon has been cancelled because of the storm damage.Sports net reported this, NBC first reported it.

I've had three different injuries (in three separate poll categories) this year. While this poll undoubtedly has inherent selection biases and you can also injure yourself doing all sorts of other activities, the injury rate expressed here is somewhat depressing. Most of us would claim that running...
