This made me laugh.

Awesome write up!! Time does fly though doesn't it.

My normal shoes are size 9. My road shoes are 10.5, my trail shoes are 10. So yes, I subscribe to this. Interesting, don't you find your toes touching to the shoe when going downhill?

Very sad. Spoke to him a couple of times and he was always so humble and gracious. It was amazing to watch him run too. Incredible. He was still so fast, even while he was battling cancer. Super impressive.

Very easy to cheat in ultras. No mats, just check in at aid station (sometimes, not always). Easy to cut the course. I think Julie is running with a GPS watch and a person the whole time so that her finish is not called into question. Oh and as small as the fields are, I've been in races and I'm com...

Anyone running ATB this year? I'm in for 30K....

I don't mind loops myself. I'll be doing a 24 h our in NJ in May - 1 mile loops

I'm looking forward to Sticks n' Stones as it's apparently a fast course. Loops can be fun as you see people a lot, doesn't get lonely, you get to be near your stuff regularly. Lots of advantages.

3 miles while Amelia swimming. Nice night!

Nicely done!

This is a new event being organized by Jeff Rowthorn and Heather Borsellino and looks like a fun one. Great time of the year, in early October. Come out for the inaugural evemt October 5, in Hamilton.

4 mile TM run for me.

5 miles at the indoor track in Bradford while Amelia was swimming...to slippy outside to chance it.

3 miles outside. It was a mild day so stuff started to melt. By the time I went out, it had cooled down just enough for the wet spots to freeze. So it was a challenging run, "is it water or is it ice". Slippy and short.

5 miles outside for me tonight. Some great running weather out there right now!

6 miles outside for me. A bit slippy on the sidewalks at times, but otherwise pretty good, -2c with just ab it of wind, I'll take it!

This will be the last year they hold the event if anyone wanting to try it before it goes....you can run as much (or as little) as you want.

Wow lots of work you've done!! Awesome. Thanks for all the effort.

5 miles for me after dinner. I am always reluctant at the start of winter to get outdoors and run. Then I do and remember how much I love it. The cooler temps, when there's no wind and clear footing, awesome.

I registered for 6 hour this year.... Love this event.

Rest day for me....

See some of you on Sunday at the Egg Nog Jog!!

Great series, they have one near me in Barrie Ont as well (and Toronto and Burlington). The dates don't always work for me though for the series savings.
