Great report, Framboisine...congratulations! Wish I had known you were there...would have introduced myself as another long-time maniac. Despite the weather, it was fun, wasn't it?

Cheers, Christine

For the men.

MANTIES instead of tech shirts. Bah, who needs another tech tee anyhow

Oh, sign me up. I've GOTTA see that!

I think that random act of kindness has inspired more than just one person. Thanks for sharing, wow.

Sounds good...think I'll follow your lead.

To run or not to run today? Hmmmmm......

Great report, Andy! Sorry I didn't get to meet you. Your report gives me hope that if I try again, I could do better. But you're right, it was a really fun experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I think you should plan for next year...

Fabulous performance and way to go!

We stayed at Animal Kingdom this year...can't say enough about the view from the balcony in the morning...totally worth the pennies!!

I think I had an "Andy sighting" on Thursday evening...was that you, Andy, coming out of the Josten's building on Thursday evening just before the Expo closed? You were wearing an orange sweater and walking with a woman (was that you, Moof?). Recognized ChrisL the next day and intro'd myse...

I've run Vancouver vs Victoria and Calgary vs Red Deer...I ran both the old Calgary route and the new one.

I'd pick Vancouver over Victoria.

I'd pick the old Calgary route over Red Deer, but definitely Red Deer over the new Calgary route...very disappointed in the change in Calgary.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone (thanks Andy - didn't see the Goofy thread :oops: ). Gives me enough info to build my own schedule. Framboisine - hope to meet you in Florida :-) Great news, size5 - knew you'd end up buying in west park - you seemed to have your mind set on that area (you'll love it, ...

I'm officially starting my "training" for the Goofy Challenge on January 10/10, but I'm not sure of what training program to use...I considered a 50-miler program but I don't know. There are a few maniacs who have done the Goofy challenge...what program did you train with? Maybe a 50-miler...

Awesome!!! Congratulations!!

Hey Bob, Think I've been away from RM even longer than you...didn't know you were in Victoria. I'm heading out there tomorrow, for my last residency at school. If I need a running partner, I'll send you a PM. The gravel (non-paved) part of the Galloping Goose trail runs right beside my university, R...

Oh.My.Gawd.

A riveting report.

An amazing feat.

Wow. Congratulations seems so...inadequate.

Congrats Lisa, that's an awesome time!

I've searched high and low but can't find the old threads on where to buy shoes online...last pair I bought came from a store in Ontario recommended by someone on this forum, but I can't for the life of me find the receipt so don't have the name of the place...got a great price though. Can anyone su...

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You truly are an athlete...you have the motivation, the right attitude and you did the distance. Congratulations!!

My life for the past 2 years has been nothing short of chaotic (working full-time at a job that had me travelling all the time, full-time student in master degree program, 2 young children, running a language school on weekends, etc. etc.). My performance in the races I've done has been a continuous...

As it turns out, I won't be able to make it to F'ton this year...I'm so disappointed...

Andy, I think you'll really like the course...the trails are beautiful in F'ton and one of my absolute favourite places to run.

Have a good race, to all those running it.

Wow! Congratulations!

Be safe.

Welcome Dianne!

FYI - from what the Moving Comfort rep told us at a staff meeting, bras have about the same life expentecy of your runners (i.e. max 6 months or so for running). Really? Oh wow! I won't mention how old my bras are :oops: I use body glide and that seems to solve the problem - wondering if you're app...

ITS BEEN ONE WEEK!!

Can I get a 'hell ya!'

Hey Smoker1, be sure to keep us posted on your progress...we're all here silently supporting you one day at a time.

Hmmm, maybe I'll have a look at the higdon plan - race day is 3rd week in May (May long weekend, whenever that is).

So sorry to hear that Mouse...when it rains, it pours...wish I had a good news story to share with you today.

4 x 1-mile repeats last night, so no running for me today. Slept in, so no cross training either. Ah well.
