Re: 10 Week 1/2 Marathon Training?

Jennifer, thank you. Jumping in at week three looks reasonable! Already running between 3 and 4.5 miles weekday mornings.
I have just lost 68lbs and eager to getting a 1/2 under my belt.

Re: Ooops ... Marathon win a surprise

Personally if it were me in 2nd, I wouldn't feel right about claiming 1st. She ran the marathon course, didn't she? Didn't cheat, cleared it with the RD? I would think I'd been beaten fair and square regardless of how the registration process was slightly circumvented. Agreed, the other reply’s see...

Yikes, just about to hop into to bed and realized I almost forgot my Garmin!
Sounds wimpy but I would fret through the 42km.

Re: BMO Vancouver Marathon thread

When I ran the marathon in 06 it was windy and raining when we woke up. Rained until about 10km and then the rest of the day was perfect.
Looking forward to coming back!

Re: Do you manage your weight?

Do I manage my weight? NO. I wish I could though. I am extra, extra heavy right now. Here it is folks... 280lbs. Even when I was at my best a few years back I was still a whopping 240lbs. It is such a struggle. Last Feb I almost gave up entirely. 1.5 hours of mixed cardio and weights in the morning ...

Creating workouts on Garmin Training Centre

I searched but couldn't find any old threads!
Trying to create a 10 and 1 workout. (run/walk)
Can it be done without having to manually create each step?
Is there a way to repeat?
I tried the repeat function but must be doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Re: Convertable Stroller - Jogger/Bike Trailer/Stroller

Thanks Mike, think I found one on Kijiji last night. Comes with all the attachments.
This may sound like a dumb question but do you put little helmets on when using as a trailer on he bike and running?
Are there infant helmets? 7.5mnths???

Convertable Stroller - Jogger/Bike Trailer/Stroller

Does anyone have any insight? I am looking into getting one. Preferably a double. I was going to get on from MEC but the reviews are not that great. A lot of men say the handle is so close they bang their feet/shins. Thanks all, Jay BTW, we got our little guy last Thursday. Beautiful baby boy. 7.5 m...

I just went to a GPS City store fully intending on purchasing the Garmin 405 and left with the 305 (with HR monitor) for $159.00. They are discontinuing them so the price is down. They are carrying on with the 310XT instead. Anywho... the lad at the store says the 305 will pick up a signal faster th...
