I've struggled with the same knee issue for about a year. Some athletic therapy visits and a small brace called the Patellavator have helped a lot.

Great memories reading thru these old posts. Habs even posted for the first time on RM in this thread! I'm sure we'll be around for marathon weekend. We've run the relay the last couple of years with friends, but not sure what our plans are this year. Our team name has been Rock, Paper, Scissors, Li...

Both are good choices. Eric at City Park is good at fittings and he has a treadmill in the store. So, City Park would be my preference out of the two.

Slightly further than 1500km but worth the trip...Paavo Nurmi Marathon: http://www.marathonguide.com/races/racedetails.cfm?MIDD=522130810 . Bingerunner ran the full and I ran the half a few years ago. It's a great event. It's a hilly course though so maybe not what you're looking for after Red Deer.

I love my sugoi bun toasters!! I have the RR version of them and love them as well. They are an essential layer on a cold day. This week I find it too cold to run outside. It's -29 this morning with a windchill of something crazy. I'm quite content on my treadmill in the morning. At least I can wea...

It usually opens on or around Feb 1.

I managed to catch her crossing the finish line as well. So happy for her, as I believe that this is a PB for her

It is. Official time 13:22:10!

She kicked some butt today! Huge smile as she crossed. Well done! Time for bubbles!

Current conditions in penticton are reportedly 19 degrees and some cloud- going up to a high of 27. That will be pretty hot for the run. Better than last year, one of my co-workers did it and said it was in the 30s all day, peaking at 34. Craziness! Good luck to all! My app is saying 25 and cloudy....

Brick done, even though the wind didn't die down but at least it is done!

Well done! It was so windy out there today!

I'm on vacation and loving having no schedule for a change. I ran 5km this morning and I'm off to yoga soon. Then I'll be watching the Opening Ceremonies and toasting Pam's (PrairieKid) hard work over the last year making them happen. Fingers crossed they go off without a glitch!

All that matters today is that I'm picking up Marg at the airport after work. Wine is purchased. It will be a lovely evening.

Not that either of you will remember much of it...

Fair statement.

Busy day. Work this morning, suit shopping with DS and his girlfriend (grad at the end of the month), swim (hopefully), grocery shopping and hopefully taking my road bike out for the first outdoor ride of the year (got it back from the shop on Tuesday after the trip back from Alert). Oh, and pick u...

I was told too much food was wasted because the numbers that attend have been declining over the years.

I'm picking up bibs tomorrow for my relay team, and for Bingerunner, and Marg I imagine. I work on campus so it's super easy for me to pick up the kits. If anyone needs me to pick one up for them, let me know! Eme is picking mine up, she lives close to my parents house, so she's even going to deliv...

I sense a 'hook up'.

Alright, I have a special RM guest coming in this weekend. Any guesses?!? RMers should feel free to drop by any time after 5pm on Saturday for a visit and a bite to eat. PM me for details. Let me know if you plan on stopping by so I can pick up some super easy grub depending on numbers. Bring your o...

They might be playing off the success of the Winnipeg Cops for Cancer half marathon every spring which is an extremely popular event in Winnipeg. This new run was being promoted at the Cops half on May 1.

The sun is finally shining! It was an absolutely gorgeous morning to run 5km before work. The forecast high for tomorrow is 27 degrees. Woo hoo!
