Hi! I haven't been on RM much since G was born, but thought I'd check in. I trained and ran the Ottawa Race Weekend Half, and then ran much more casually all summer, even though I was signed up for the Army Run. Ran the Army Run last month and it went much better than I expected, considering I hadn'...

Sorry you didn't have the race you wanted. Seems like you're not quite alone though! And sorry to have missed you while you were in town!

Congrats on the streak!

Ran the ORW 1/2 this morning in 1:58:14. Was on track for something closer to 1:55 until about 10k when I guess the heat was enough to get to me. Still a 9 second PB for my 4th HM, so I'll take it!

Try switching to something else - Claritin, Reactine or Allegra (but watch for interactions with Allegra). The only prescription antihistamines are either short-acting drowsy ones, or Reactine 20mg (OTC is 10mg). But you may need something else too. I was given a nose spray last year that I thought...

Happy Mother's Day!

I missed my 20k final long long run this morning thanks to hand, foot and mouth disease. I'm counting on the rest of my training being strong enough for it not to matter.

10k with the Running Room this morning. Beautiful morning for a run! Now off to take the dog to the dog park and hopefully the baby will nap while we're there!

2.5miles/4k on the TM this morning.

Did anyone with beautiful weather get out for a run yesterday? It was gorgeous here and I felt like I was flying. I feel like my half training is going really, really well - I started out with the 2:10 pace group, then moved up to the 2:00 pace group, and I'm contemplating trying to run with the 1:...

Showed up at the gym this morning to run 4km, got halfway changed and realized I was missing an important piece of clothing. Changed back, picked up G from daycare and headed home. E looked after G while the dog and I ran 4.2k in a snow squall at lunchtime.

Just over 9km this morning, trying to stay out of the wind. My longest distance in over a year and it felt great!

Quick 2miles on the treadmill this morning.

I'm still pregnant. 38 weeks today and due in 2 weeks :) ETA - V came on her due date. Now I want to know when this baby's born so I'll for me next time, since G was born on his due date too.

A very belated thanks for the congratulations! Gavin's now 2 weeks and I'm itching to get back to running but my body's definitely not ready, and the C-section is probably going to prolong things a bit.

I wonder if I could look after Lili the Great Dane and C-Moss the tornado? :lol: between the 2 of us maybe we could (plus Hannah that is). I have 3 dogs of my own and dog sit and have been known to walk 5 at a time! :shock: Not sure if I am bringing Hannah alone or Hannah and Caleb! I will very lik...

I'm a probable maybe for a M&G.

There's also D'arcy McGees on Terry Fox, and Jack Astor's in the Centrum, but they may not be as family friendly.

Race start is 48h (or less) from now and I am feeling nervous. I haven't truly trained and tapered for a race since my last marathon in 2007. I have a plan and will race it to the best to my ability. I have done everything I can with the time I had, and what my body had in me. I am looking forward ...

Congrats! Great race!
