Way to smash that PB. :) It was great to talk to you after about it and then read the details here. I'm glad we got to spend more time together this weekend. You forgot the part about how you said you had a "six-minute PB." "Um, honey- that's eight minutes!" :) . If only I had b...

Andy, go out and kill O-town! You know you have it in you. Fantastic to see you again!

Well done RG! I'm sorry I still haven't had a chance to meet you. Sounds like a very well executed marathon. Here is to more speed in the future.

This wasn't the race you hoped for, I know that. I love that you still really enjoyed the whole weekend, good work. No wonder you are stuck with such residual soreness, the cramps are horrible for that. Rest up and come back with a vengeance. You can figure out the hills and post a smokin fast time ...

I did not hear the story of Marc so it was really neat to read it although not neat to read about the ambulance! Here is what I like: You had an amazing training cycle and trained with no regrets You raced a brave race, you went out seeking a goal and even though it felt hard, you tried to achieve i...

Nicely done! I love how you have run this race for so many years you have a history that long. Great result!

I loved the last lines!!! Well done in holding it together and pulling off the PB

I debated if I would post a race report but there were things I wanted to say about Vancouver. the locals Thanks so much for hosting us again, especially Jwolfe who is always so welcoming and seems to manage to help all of us enjoy the best parts of Vancouver. Stampie, it was wonderful to meet you a...

I AM the definition of post marathon Monday. I dropped a package of salad dressing on the floor at work and one of my patients picked it up :lol: ! Then, I came home and was making a salad.... Dropped a Baggie of chopped onion.... Picked that up with my toes :lol: :lol: . LOVED van. Great race, grea...

My heart sank when I logged on and saw the title of this thread. You're so right - you've had a fabulous training cycle, you're a stronger, faster runner, and some days, the marathon just wins. :( Take care of yourself! THIS! Awww hammie, shucks. It sucks. I was so sad to hear this. The training cy...

Dave's taking care of this for you while he's in Dallas. trust me.

Sadly Dave is not tapering! I see you, the accountant, is reviewing the visa daily?

C'mon race day. I feel fat, lazy and I haven't spent a dime during this taper. I'm a disappointment to tapering runners all over

Sorry S5 but I think they are right. It goes by what you put down as your estimated time. I suspect for Stampie's registration the clinic put down an estimated time, maybe 4:00, which might not be what he is actually planning on running but is faster than Running Goddesses. From the website: Start ...

My bib # is finally available: 15151. I do exist after all! :D interesting on their numbering method - you registered this late and got a lower bib number than me! LOL! I think the bib numbers are linked to your estimated finish time, so that they can load everyone into corrals by race number rathe...

I know I don't really belong here..... But Im going to comment anyway. I was listening to CBC on a late drive home for the city last night and it was thr show "Ideas" The show was on gender and stereotypes and it featured a couple in Toronto who decided to not disclose the gender of their...

N is going to be very tough. Alex can take Timmy in a wrestling match and hold his own! He also seldom cries when he falls, bumps into things, etc. S5 - you are always welcome here. I love hearing about gender stereotypes for kids. As I have two boys, I've done a bit of reading/listening on how to ...

way to go Ann! out of the gate with 5 and 1's! How is V doing with N? She loves her baby sister, but doesn't know how to be gentle :P N is going to be a tough girl... :lol: I totally understand what you mean. I know I don't really belong here..... But Im going to comment anyway. I was listening to ...

Aww I got so choked up reading this. You worked it, we cheered. You were a good friend to honor Leo and I'm sure keeping him with you in your race meant a lot to him. Hope things work out for him. And, I'm with marg, what is with the crazy talk of last marathons?

could the frosting be made two days in advance, or is that too far? I'm trying to plan how I can make it for my birthday, but I'll be at work the night before... Looking at it I really can't see why not. You'll leave it in the fridge. When you go to use it it is likely you will need to mix it a bit...

You're 3223

Phew! Thanks Hammie.
The link in my email didn't work, so I used the one Andy posted and I showed up.

Creepy! I'm 3323!

Amazing response from the community. What a tragedy for her family. It is a very nice article. She was not a first time marathoner nor out of shape from the information provided.
