This blackbird's mute gonna sing again

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

QuickChick- probably, although I'll wait to register till after Waterfront. Goal will be faster than Waterfront unless I'm totally happy with how I do there.

Glad to be doing this one. Enjoyed it in 2009 after an injury-abbreviated training period. Hope to do it at full strength this year. Will be fun either way, this is a well run race. See you all there.

3 weeks away...giving serious thought to the Hamilton Marathon. I walked the marathon in its first year. Was quite well organized back then. Wonder what's it like now.

It's still well organized. And you don't have to walk back uphill. ;)

Do the half and full marathon finishers receive exactly the same finisher's medal and tech shirt or are they different?

The same in 2009 but neither were anything to write home about. (And this is not a complaint - I'm happy this one raises the ton of money this does for two great charities rather than providing me an upgrade on the technical T I receive.)
