I sold my bib I will run 5Km on that day but just not ready to be doing any type of running in such a big crowd right now.
I will be on course to cheer on a friend running her first half though, so hope to see some Maniacs out there.

I think I will run/walk/stumble and just enjoy the day.

Re: Toronto Waterfront Marathon/Half/5K- who's in?
I have been dealing with some sort of virus since Sunday so doubt I will be running on Sunday. If anyone wants my bib please pm me.

Re: Back to start - again, yes again
Good work ladies! I know a lot of people would not think 4km is a lot but for me it was more about being on a team and the pressure that *I* put on myself that way. 4km is still a lot for me and I am so happy to have done it on this day for that reason. I am looking forward Scotia 5k so I can set th...

Re: Back to start - again, yes again
4km tonight. I guess I am off the program for now as I get ready for Sat.
Do I go back on after it or make up something new since I will be at running 4km already?
Nervous for Sat as team/relay events scare me and I feel pressured.

One of our runners for our 131km relay race from Toronto to Blue Mountain has injured himself and cannot keep his commitment. If anyone wants one or all the distances (he was running 3 legs) please contact me. You do not need to pay or raise money - we just want a running person. The first leg is ne...

Re: Back to start - again, yes again
I spoke to the team leader and told her to change me to the leg I signed up for. I cannot mentally deal with the pressure of getting my team 'swept' off the course. This is the reason I have never signed up for really despite really wanting to do cabot trail! I can run 8km but not at the time they w...

Departure from the program. I ran 2km before work. I could have run 3 or 4 but did not get my arse out of bed quick enough. I need to figure out how I am going to run 7.4km this weekend for the Sears Run. I signed up for 4km but now got assigned to the 7.4km leg! I am also going to sign up for Scoti...
