Two weeks after ATB and 3 weeks before Vancouver Marathon ... should be a perfect time to test the fitness and start the three week taper for Vancouver ... then again, my body tends to do a lot better for a shorter taper period, for some reason ...

So, who's in for this year's Minto Run for Reach ???

[Strider]

TOO early...this $uck$.

[PinkLady]

Moi! I registered a few days ago for the half and also registered for NCM at the same time.

Guess I didn't have to worry about it selling out.....the R4R only had like 12 other people confirmed when I finished registering. DH joked that at that rate I'd have no problem placing top 20. Hardy-har-har .

[Strider]

Or Run to End MS in Cornwall - April 30th. Much better time of year, especially for the NCM folks

Really? I'm confused why you think so...(not arguing with it, just not understanding). I was planning to use R4R as a tuneup for NCM, and having it on Apr 10 is great since it'll give me a month in between to work on my weak areas and still have a 2 week taper.

Or, run both ...

I'm thinking that Strider may be referring more to people training for the Ottawa Marathon ...

Yep, did the HM at R4R last year and loved it, will do the HM again this year.

I am hoping to be away the weekend of the 9th/10th

and yes 4 or 5 weeks out to run a 1/2 before a full (NCM) is ideal IMHO. I prefer 4 weeks, gives you 1 more week for a LSD and then taper.

Might look at the 10 km -- I am running a half in Montreal the weekend after..... could help me establish what pace to run the half at!!

You could pace me for the first 10K loop ...

[MikeM]

I'll likely sign up for the 1/2 marathon although I'm also thinking about the 10K since it's been a while since I set my PB.

You're on!! Remember - you can't pass your Pacer!!

And then I'll tell you what gig you can pace me for!!

[jes]

I might be in for 5 or 10k depending on how training goes between now and then (given that I'm doing 0k a week now )

Zoomphoto will be shooting

[SteveF]

I may hit up the 5k to see where I'm at compared to last year. Nice little test before tapering.

[orleansrunner1962]

Do any of the events at this race sell out? Should I worry about whether I need to commit NOW as opposed to closer to the event??

[Marg]

This race I consistently volunteer at. Likely doing the same again this year... just sayin'...Claudie, Nick, IG, IB, Trail Child, Cynthia et al....

I'm with you of course!

[mas_runner]

Nothing like getting cups of water off the glamour girls of RM (Marg, Carrie, IG, Frambo) to keep you on pace!

Where are the glamour boys? I wouldn't mind some hot firemen.....

Nick and IB were there last year...

You can run with Me and Sylvie, or is it Sylvie and I ...

"Sylvie and me" or "me and Sylvie". You would otherwise say "You can run with me", so that's how you can tell which one to use.

See? I'm good for proper English grammar skills, not just pg rated curse words....

Uhm....yeah sure no problem....let me get back to you on that one....

Anyone got a time machine so I can WHOOOSH to the future and train for 2 more years and WHOOOSH back?

"Want" =/= "can"
