I hope it's ok to chime in. I visit Vancouver every now and again for work and pleasure. Also stay near Canada Place. I usually run at about 6:00am or so. Run from hotel down a couple of blocks to Canada Place. Run around it. Then I head West along the path down by the water to the entrance to Stanl...

Wow!!! A Huge Congratulations to you Andrea. All your hard work and dedication really paid off... Now, get online and start looking for a Fabulous hotel to stay in in Boston. You deserve it....

Not sure how Sportstsats will handle these last minute changes. They have been very strict in the past at OWR and Army run. No Changes at last minute. They do offer an exchange, but only for a certain time frame. If someone Is going to race/run under another person, I hope they do as Lisa suggested ...

Hey. I am mostly a luker on this site. Enjoy reading all the great stories and accomplishments you guys have. It always Inspires me and helps me improve my running. I do though, have a problem with people transferring race bibs. I work at a lot of races... Can you Imagine this person, using your BIB...

Air Canada also has direct flights. Just wait for a seat sale. Have done that before.

Just wanted to say....Holy WOW Jes. Your running has come a long way fast.....Good going girl:) See you at the Somersault events this summer..

Very sad news indeed... I had the Best vacation Ever on their organized Cruise to Run last year. He made sure that we came prepared to give something back to each community we visited. Always thinking of others. He made us Laugh the whole week. I can't imagine how his wife Jody is coping at this mom...

Holy Cow lady!!! Way to go Jes... That is an Awesome PB....

Big Eagles fan.. Always the two last songs to most of my runs: 5 km or 30km....

I went last year and Loved it.... The running group were fabulous people. All so friendly. There were all levels of runners, even slow ones like me:) Food is fantastic, as Andy said many options.. I did not see a whole lot of kids, but that was probably because I hung around the adult pool area a lo...

It was the bannana that I let you have from the Finish line, Before the race that helped get your the great time.

Thank you.. Will stop then. In not too much of a rush...Except I also want to stop at the Tulalip Outlets.. And I am travelling with a few males who might not be too impressed. Sucks to be them... I only get out to the West Coast a few times a year..

Have any of you West Coast RM'ers been to this Outlet store???
Wondering if it's worth stopping at tomorrow on my drive down to Seattle.

Jess, the costumes at Winners in Barrhaven were 70% off yesterday when I was there. Only one rack left.. Hope they are still some left for you... They were awesome!!!!

What a great accomplishment... I hope to be in the Rear view next year...

This is the one I have been looking at. http://www.cruisetorun.com/caribbean/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; But.. Now I see this one as a good alternative. I'm a single traveller, and the price can add up. I believe there is a RM member who has done this cruise. Trixie may...

Well not my first.. But first marathon. I had been on a weight loss journey and lost about 60lbs then. Started running, and did a 10k in 2006, along with some sprint tris.. Then signed up for a marathon clinic in 2007. I run alone, so this was a new challenge for me. But I was lucky and had a great ...

Thanks.. Oh yeah, I am a swimmer...ooops never a wetsuit. Done all my sprints without. Hmmm Maybe no wetsuit in the am.

Hey, hi. I have been a swimmer since forever... I can swim 3000 - 5000m easily in a pool. When I was younger, say 20 odd years ago, I could swim across a lake of 4km. Well, not no much now adays at 45. I panic in open water swims. Tomorrow morning I am doing a 3km swim in open water in a wetsuit for...

Wow!!!!! Way cool........

Funny, so many of the little ones who finished near the end were to shy or afraid to get the medal. Handed it to the parent. D was just waiting for it.... Too cute

I was the lucky one to give her the medal. We were all cheering at the finish line. Watching dad on his knees, arms held out waiting for her. Proud dad I am sure. And Super mom for running with her Marc from Zoom Photo got some wonderful shots. She's a cutie

Hey Jess
You should post....I think your photos of Joe and yourself are Totally Awesome!!!!!!

I saw Laura( aka SF) around the 900m to the finish line. I noticed her with the great arms and CWX capris I wanted to scream out " Go Spirit Go". But, she seemed so focussed that I did not want to interup that. She looked great near then end
