Re: Best post-race food?

The Old Mill Race in Ancaster gets my vote...since it's put on by the restaurant the food is amazing. Lasagna, corn on the cob, caesar salad and homemade ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Yummy! *It's been 9 years since I did this race so it's possible it doesn't exist anymore :( It was a good time!

Re: Hot running (newish) Momma's thread...

I LOVE Marianne! It is such a beautiful name!

Of course I'm completely curious what the alternate was but am coming up with nothing that I can think of prettier than Marianne...in fact Pollyanna is all I can think of :)

It's like crack...in fact I may rename it Crackfudge for the party tonight. I guarantee you can't eat just one piece!

Re: Sucre a la creme (sugar cream fudge)

Batch #1 is cooling right now. My teeth ache from simply eating the bits left in the pot! So delicious! Yay! Let me know how it turns out! I want to remind people that it is important to not mix more than 5 mins with the hand blender or it will be too hard. It is amazing! I'm going to make a couple...

Re: Personal Trainers?

@Farmgirlinthecity - You have to do hills, yet you know you can do squats, lunges, and more importantly hill repeats. I bet you could cut off 7 min from your PR again just by yourself. It's causation - while the PT was the one that helped motivate you to work out, you still cut 7 min off your time ...

I'll put a vote in for a personal trainer. My trainer is also a runner. She worked with me all through my pregnancy and got me going again afterwards. She knows my running goals and is very good at peaking my training at the right times. We have done sessions in my house and I've done "homework...

Re: Hot running (newish) Momma's thread...

I can't remember the name of the muscle, but it has 3 words, and attaches to the tibia at the top and the ankle at the bottom. When I run, it turns into a lovely tight little ball of pain. Going slower do...

Re: Putting a bike helmet on a toddler?

We just told my son tough luck - no riding your trike/bike without it. We made sure it was loose enough that it wasn't pinching, and we're very careful doing it up that we don't pinch him. He grumbled the first one or two times, then he just resigned himself to it and never noticed it again. We did...
