I love this site, I use it as my calendar and to track results. If your results are not there, you can have them added. You just add the race and then the results. You have to post the links to the race site and/or result site and they will do the rest. Usually within a day or two. The site has lots...

I signed up but there were some problems, and they are currently rebuilding the site/program.

I bought the photos from my first timed 5K and my first 10 miler and my first 1/2 marathon. I'll buy them for my firsts I guess, and if there's ever a really good shot!! They are expensive though.

I was right there with you. I could have written most of that post. I found the start of the race was so hard and so crowded that although I wasn't going fast, I was exhausted trying to get a clear path. I considered stopping at the 5k mark as well. I kept going though and struggled through till the...

WTG!

Congrats!

Congratulations!!

Congrats, sounds like a good race!

Congrats!

Congrats. It's always satisfying when you do well on those days you don't really want to be there!!

Congrats!!

Congrats on your first race!

I trained for my first 1/2 using a 12 week training program for beginners that had me running 3 days a week. I finished my first 1/2 marathon in 2:07. The program I used was on the Nike+ site

I ran the 5K and ran a PB of 26:33. I was thrilled with that. I too thought it was really well organized and a great event, hope to do it again next year. Will register early enough next year to get into the 1/2 though. They didn't have topless firemen on the 5K route.

Great report, great team work.

I'm running but only in the 5K. By the time I decided to run the 1/2 it was full. I've heard that the course is open to the public so I'm a little glad I'm only doing the 5K. Hopefully it won't be too crowded at that time of the day.

I ran the Scotiabank 5K last year and I'm doing the 1/2 this year. I ran the 5K in the Goodlife last year and thought between the 2 that the Scotiabank was a better overall event. For me I often go alone to races and I don't like the idea of having to park downtown then take a shuttle bus to the sta...

Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Holy cow, congratulations!!

Thanks for that information! I may consider this as well. One of the reasons I have not committed to a marathon is the amount of time it requires to do the training. Perhaps this is a viable alternative. I've printed it out!

Congrats!

Congrats, that's fantastic.
