I would like to thank every one for the vibes and well wishes. This is just a minor set back and I will soon be running like the wind again. I think I have played my last game of squash though. Once bitten... I have found another use... http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h124/Scadian/IMG00015.jpg

Uh, thanks Kara (CAW). Crossfit is a great workout program. Remember, scale to your fitness level! The WOD (WorkOut of the day) is often something crazy that few people can do so you can scale back the number of reps (where is asks you to do 20 chin-ups, do what you can, or do them with assistance.....

Well done! The Artillery was well represented!
Honestly, we have come a long way...and have a long way to go

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing the journey! I have had a blast following you two. Amazing job... Inspiring. Take care.

Up too early! Off to run club in a bit...12 or so on the agenda.

Happy Saturday!

I was introduced to these shoes by a friend of mine. I like the fit and feel of them. I am a sprinter by nature and often go out too hard! The day after I workout (usually 1-2k) in these, my calves hurt. I have been away on course and forgot them at home, but will get back into using them. I will le...

I think it is only a matter of time! You will beat that hour limit and wonder why you thought it was hard! Keep at it!

Congrats my friend. I knew it was a matter of time before you knocked that wall down. Patience and persistence, sky's the limit!

For better or worse I am registered for the 2009 edition of the Muskoka 70.3!

I just hope they do not send me away from Petawawa next Sept...

Thanks everyone! No , unfortunately I did not catch the fish. The Commanding Officer (CO) did call me out in front of the Battery and asked whether they knew that my keys ended up on the bottom of the river. Also mentioned that if I had finished we would have taken second place as a major unit in th...

What does not kill us makes us stronger. I would like to start by saying this is my second shot at this race. My race report from 2006: http://www.runningmania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10726&highlight=military+ironman So once again, I woke up early (0245 was the alarm time but I was awake at 02...

Well I didn't know this thread existed!! Thanks for the concern. Yes, I am fine and will start work on a race report to explain everything. I am not sure that this has been made public knowledge but I guess we should really let everyone know that Jaimer and I are no longer together, she decided that...

<stagger> Damn, flashback
You have a point. When I eventually go back to work,8) I will schedule the leave. That will be next week... If I forget, E kick my butt!

I just have to figure out whether I will be needed at work... I would love to come out again! This event is a blast!

Great job! Loved the report

Great job! Sounds like fun, I will have to come back home and do some races...one day!

Excellent race Speedy!

Can't wait to hear, one day I will go back...

Sweet! I knew you had it in you! Keep it up man! Week one done here, 12 to go.

Good job, keep it up!!

Sounds great, crazy but great! I see the big "100 miles" and I think "There is no way I could ever do that." :twisted: Then I remember the first time I thought about running a marathon and had the exact same thought... 8) Maybe one day... No. :oops: Sorry, this one is all you! Go get 'em!

Good run! Great report. You raced smart! Next year...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I am slowly learning the finesse of running rather that "ME STRONG, ME RUN" mentality. I have to thank Jaimer for helping in that area, I have a friend/coach that is trying to straighten me out too (Thanks Annalisa). I will try to extract the info from the garmin toni...

We got to the race a little later than planned but got to say hello to a couple of people in sect 122 and met more in the paddock when we finally got to the starting “line.” I said goodbye to Jaime and headed toward the 2:55 pace bunny (first time I have ever seen a fabled ‘pace bunny’) with 5 minut...

I know what it is like to miss your goals but you still ran a helluva race to post a 2:31 on that course. Not all bad!

I am sure you will get it next time!
