I chose the third option, but that's because I try to do "multitask" while traveling. When I lived in Montreal, I've traveled to Toronto (because my family and friends are there too), NYC (also to see my DH..but come one, do you really need a reason to travel there?) and Ottawa (because you have to ...

Such a good half...I have raced it 3 times ('04 by myself, '05 with my hubby and '08 with 4 of my lab buddies). Can't do it this year, though.

And, from the sounds of things, it looks like it's going to be an RM party at the 21K Mtl this year!

Our dog is smart like stump. We've had the gentle leader for about a year and she still pulls like heck every time I try to walk her without it. Berners are bred to pull so that isn't much fun at all. Darla's the same way (she's half lab/half collie). I can only walk her with just her collar after ...

can somebody please explain to my dog that time change means we're supposed to sleep in??? he was up at 6:30 this morning. :roll: Darla did the same thing! I went out for a 4K run with her this morning. I'll run some errands, and then this afternoon, me, Mr. Cheermidget and Darla are going to 110th...

By the end of one, can't remember what it was called, sitting down bring soles of feet together and opening out legs, my body was curled over my feet and my head was actually resting on my toes, didn't start out that way though. In sanskrit it's called "baddha konasana", which means bound angle pos...

Last night, I met up with framboisine, BJH (and Mr. BJH), Ian (and his mom) and we saw the Hallowe'en parade on 6th Av. Well, more like we *tried* to watch it, but there was such a crowd and certain short people could only see so much. :P I just came back from a 5K with the husband and the dog. Afte...

Okay this is going to sound strange but I roast green beans and I love them cooked that way. I got the recipe from Cook's Illustrated magazine. I've also made roasted sesame green beans. Here are the recipes: Roasted Green Beans 1 lb. green beans, washed and ends trimmed 1 Tb olive oil 1/2 tsp. salt...

Training for and running my 2nd marathon (Quebec City 2004). I no longer had the "first marathon jitters", I was in my running groove, trained with a really good group of people from the Westmount RR, and my DH and I were in the "just starting dating and totally in love stage", so he would wake up w...

There are some people here who never talk about running and never seem to be racing. And not because of injury... Some people don't feel comfortable posting their daily run/jog/etc. distances on the daily thread because they're not training for anything particular..I mean really, after reading page...

Good luck to everyone racing today!

No run for me this morning--instead, I'll be spending my afternoon doing 108 Sun Salutations for Global Mala (www.yoga-for-peace.org).

Where did September go, by the way?!?!

seven years later, Sept 11 still makes me a little sad... I agree. I can't help but remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on that awful day. Such a state of shock. This morning, as I was running along Riverside Drive, I passed by a huge memorial service for FDNY members who lost their l...

Came back from my 5K run with my dog.

Happy first day of school, everyone!
Happy Birthday, Strider!

Have a great day, everyone!

Sounds more like a marketing scheme than a great race.. When I did the Nike RunTO 5 years ago, they hosted training runs throughout the city, with their shoe test vans present. If that isn't enough of a marketing scheme, they gave out bottles of water and bananas with Nike RunTO logos on it. I mean...

I got my magazine on Monday...but customs must have confiscated (or eaten) my powerbar.

Holy moly, that ROCKS!!!
Congratulations!!!!

Hats off to everyone who posted awesome workouts (whether or not you needed to puke afterwards!)...I'm so inspired! :) I tried to get a 5K in with my dog, but after about 1K I started to cramp up. :cry: Oh well...I'll try again tomorrow. I'm doing another yoga class tonight, too. Have a great day, e...

Funny, I did a search for a similar site for sit ups and nope, didn't find one. I guess it's because sit ups are "easier" than push ups and people usually (I think) do larger numbers in a set anyway. (At least, that's the impression I have.) How about plank? They're much harder than sit-ups, and th...

Whoops...so I missed out on this thread all weekend, but better late than never!! :) Initial test-->22 (on my toes) (Considering I've been going to yoga 2 weeks straight, I think I did pretty well) I'll start my week 1 on Saturday. Funny, when I coached cheerleading, I used to incorporate pushups in...

Nancy, my thoughts are with you today...

Ran 6K with Darla this morning..it was actually below 30C here in NYC this morning!!!

Finishing up my yoga teacher training application and then going to a yoga class tonight.

Have a great day, everyone!

I did my usual 5K run with Darla this morning.

I bought a 1-week unlimited pass to a really good yoga studio (Jivamukti Yoga..they have studios in Toronto and Montreal as well) and I'm on day 3 of my "7-straight days of yoga" burst.

Did my usual 5K morning run with Darla.

Must run errands before my mom gets here tomorrow!

Have a great day, everyone!

Day 4 of waking up early and I took Darla for a 1-hour walk this morning. She's pretty tired...on Saturday, we ran 8K then rollerbladed along the Hudson river to the George Washington Bridge. On Sunday, we walked around Central Park. Mr. Cheermidget and I are heading to Portland (Oregon) today for o...

So, inspired by Ray, I wanted to wake up relatively early (7am is early for me) and run with my dog...mainly because I've been waking up around 9-10am lately and two days ago, Darla wasn't able to wait that long to empty herself. :oops: (If it's any consolation, at least she did her business in the ...
