Hopefully, there was not too much of a convergence between the speedy 3 hour or so marathoners and the lead pack of the half marathoners at Sussex, and last 3K along the canal, due to the earlier start time for the half marathon start time ... Hopefully, the Race Organizers will keep this as an earl...

I'm happy the race is still ago, but hope all will be well. The 30 minute delay tonight for the 10k might not make a big temperature difference, but they will give an extra half hour after the 5K which could make a big difference for medical staff and volunteers who might be dealing with heat issue...

East Side

Bare in mind that they cannot enter the runners recovery area and have to wait at the exit gates leading to Laurier ?

Congratulations on another marathon under your belt, Susan ...

You sure it was dead ? Did you try to pick it up and give it cpr ?? shake it's tail to see if it actually rattled??

Cr@p Cr@p Cr@p ... similar forecast for Mississauga ... Glad that I decided to run the half this year .. Ha !!

Have to ask, with all the strict requirements of BQ'ing and then the registration process, etc, what is the odd of Boston messing up on the bib name? Having said that, how is it possible for the person in the finish / medal photoss able to have done that switcharoo ?? Pretty expensive trip to Boston...

FYI .. Just received a voice message from Costco of a voluntary recall of Organic Berry Cherry Blend by Nature's Cut Brand ...

Me is out this year, so ends my ATB streak of 10+years ..

Just hard to justify spending the $300-$400 for hotel, transport and other expenses for just a slow training run this year, as I really just started running again about a month ago regularly since Dopey due to my injuries

I guess, really no different than Bond, these days, eh !!! http://www.circasports.com/posts/3040033-barry-bonds-just-beat-baseball-s-best-slugger-in-home-run-derby

Yep, me too, as I was able to upgrade to the Challenge this weekend, after doing the double the past five years, as the 5k bunny, finally getting the combo recognized is an awesome deal ... . Though, may have ended my Army Bunny Streak, as a result ??

Heads up, Peeps,

Early Birdy registration for the 2016 Army Run is available today ONLY ... Registration officially opens up on February 16th ..

How awful! I am sure this will be deeply felt by many on here who brave the conditions in winter to go running. Thoughts to his friends and family. Was he an RMer? he looks really familiar. Nope, but tended to participate in the major local races in the area ... Though, you may have run past him in...

Just heard about this news at the office this morning, when I returned back ... Often spoke with him at the Office / Building where I work ... :( http://wpmedia.ottawacitizen.com/2016/01/0113-runner-mark-laviolette-org-xmit-rmjcyve5lpwj0htruxaq.jpeg?quality=55&strip=all&w=840&h=630&c...

Trying not to fall while walking to car in high heels in fresh snow after running 10k at the Y. How hard could it be ?? :shifty: :wink: :lol: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=walking+in+stilettos+on+ice&view=detail&qpvt=walking+in+stilettos+on+ice&mid=ED87C442F62D9BE6E845ED87C442F62D...

Just picked up the Garmin VivoActive during the Black Friday sales ... couldn't resist as it was on sale at about 30% off the msrp ... now, just have to wait another 3 weeks or so before opening it

I wanna play too ...

In the final weeks of Goofy Challenge training, so already on my consideration, as I am already in an 18 day mini run streak, as it stands ...

(Looking for the "eating popcorn while watching both sides of this controversy embarrass themselves even further" emoticon...) :clap: Make that two popcorns with real butta Got to say, it would be fun to run with this guy. Would be easy to know whether he was legit. Happy to pay his regis...

Not tough. Fair. Should be done more. In cases where the cheating is parlayed into a BQ or prizes, I am ok with this public shaming. See this different than accidental cheating or meaningless cheating (I am thinking here of the load of NY "marathoners" who don't make the right turn off th...

Cheating your way into Boston is one thing, but cheating by deliberately not running the full course is something else entirely. How is it different? That's like saying that paying someone to write the MCAT for you is different than taking the test yourself but cheating while writing it. I'm not sa...

At least the RD DQ'd him for 2014 and 2015 MCM, basically nullified his 2016 and 2017 BQ registration?? Wondering if Boston will ban him as well, considering he has admitted to cheating on his previous when he may have participated in Boston under false qualifications?? I doubt that Boston has to b...

This feels like Boston Dad. BTW anyone know if he has run any races since? I think I read somewhere that he recently ran a 21:4x / 5K about a week or two ago? A different Rossi had ran a 1:4x:xx at the Avengers Half last week(end), but apparently is a different person, due to his age/address State,...
