Congrats to you and Brendan, Ian. Are either of you coming to Saskatoon on Sunday to give Brian a challenge?

Jewelry is always good - something souvenir-y? Does she have a Pandora bracelet or some such?

I can confirm that it is indeed, crazy. I have never done more than a 40 km day and that in nice calm conditions with minimal portaging. Well done, Erin!

A bit under 11 with my sister & the dog. Gorgeous day here, sunny calm and +16.

Headed out for 9 or 10 k over the noon hour. I'll be late getting back but been working a lot of OT lately so they can suck it

Not sure where it shows actual numbers, but I checked the confirmation page through Running Room, it looks like about 40%. QCM posts registration status from time to time on their website. If you are planning on running the full you probably have some time, it is the last to sell out. The half and ...

Ever since we moved back to Alberta in 2009 I've had this race in the back of my mind. I've just never been able to do it. Maybe this year, we'll see. :? Whenever Edmonton changes their marathon (usually every four years or so), it seems to take them a year to get the new logistics sorted out. Give...

I'll be limping my way through another half-marathon I'm barely prepared for. If I break 1:50 I'll be stunned. Anybody else going to be running in Saskatoon this year?

Very windy 13k with the dog.

Medical "studies" drive me crazy. I never understand how they draw conclusions from such small sample sizes.

10.5 k with my sister and the dog, then another 9.5 solo. 20k done, went home and swapped tires on the van before showering.

I like my Altra road shoes a lot, can't speak to the trail versions. I love the wide toe box, I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit.

Lunch hour 5.5 k @ HM pace.

13 k avec puppy.

17.5 for me, longest run since last summer and a new record for Willis the wonder doodle who would have happily gone farther.

Where are all the other beer-milers to cheer him on? Is this the loneliness of the middle-distance beer chugger?

Puking snow outside today, everything slushy and yucky. 5 miles on the treadmill at the gym at work, 1 mile easy and 4 miles race pace. Slow race pace given I'm so out of shape.

I don't have any entries on athlinks, but I have two on sportstats.ca.

Way to go Habs!
14k with the hound, gray day, +3 or so. Where's spring again?

Hey, that shirt looks familiar! Great report, glad you had such a wonderful day.

I'm the same height as you and my wife hates it when I get even around 180.

I don't know how to link articles :shock: :? But if you "google": rob asselstine anorexia Whig Standard you'll come across an article from my local paper (written in 2010) where Rob talks openly about his journey with anorexia. I saw him at a race shortly after this article appeared and t...

It's up to 17 here so I believe I'll take the dog out for 10k or so later. We went 8k yesterday in shorts and a T (me, not the dog), it was wonderful!

Local marathon champ and proprietor of Brainsport running store Brian Michasiw finished in a little under 2:53.
