Best of luck Dwayne!!! You are truly an inspiration, I am just afraid of hanging out with you and getting the ultra disease. Can't wait to hear all the stories.
Have an awesome run/race/experience!

I would be happy to host some general debauchery. I am quite good at the general stuff just nothing specific

Mike, don't worry. We have had 1 warmish day of 18, other than that chances are you will be running in wet snow! lol..Its been very nasty out so take comfort in that everyone will be in shock if it turns hot. The big issue is the #*%^#@(%& never ending wind!

I lived in Fort Lauderdale for a year. I used to think wearing extra clothes would help in case of a hot marathon here...in 2005..But after living, breathing, training, and racing in humidity 35C plus, I know now nothing can prepare you when you live in the cold and race day is hot. It took me almos...

One thing to note, despite the flatness, running on complete cement vs asphalt is very hard on your body. For this reason many marathoners find it not as easy as one would think. Also, running on a flat course is often harder on your body as it doesn't get a chance to change positions you would get ...

Alot of running/training is mental, literally! In the last year my body wanted to go but my mind did not. I agree, if you aren't training for anything specific just let it go. Don't be hard on yourself. I should listen to my own advice! Kristin Armstrong wrote a blog on Runners World, Mile Markers j...

Congrats! Thats an awesome time! See, you will be at Boston! PBs are a nice feeling, enjoy and relax for awhile.

Cheers

Better late than never, Finally found time to read the reports! Loved reading it and great photos! Thanks for your enthusiasm and fun times. Congratulations, and I know you will be there again, once is just not enough, maybe twice for me is enough though. lol. I think I accidently threw out my bib n...

Great work! You hashers are getting a bad reputation of being legitimate athletes now!

Thanks but the time probably wouldn't work. My meetings start at 8:30 so I am looking at a 4:30ish am start to get a run in, shower and huge breakfast. lol

Thanks for taking the time to map that route! I just printed it out, its perfect. Looking forward to a run in milder weather and different scenery!

Yes, those little neighborhoods scare me, I would probably zone out and be lost in suburbia and miss the meetings! Oh darn!
Thanks everyone this is great, I know I won't see much in the dark anyway but had been wondering safety wise if it was okay.

Thanks, that sounds perfect. I will head west for about 7 miles then turn and go back. lol

Thanks, I see on the map where John is and Bayview..Perfect. Just wasn't sure if the whole area was industrial with no sidewalks. The weather looks warm compared to here as well!

Thanks so much, that is perfect, I will have a look at a map.

I have to be in Toronto for meetings all weekend, staying at the Holiday Inn on Woodbine in Markham..Is there any decent routes around there for say a 13-15 mile run? Or should I endure the hotel dreadmill? Any Toronto Maniacs that might know.

Thanks everyone. I think I only was able to do that with the free pacing, ticket wasn't free but not having my priorities straight, rather have someone pace me and have to pay for a ticket. lol

On a lark and to get away from the cold I entered this scenic race just outside of Austin Texas. A co worker in our Seattle office, also a runner had a free ticket to use and asked if I would meet her there..Sure! I had 3 days off from running, and any type of working out. Just felt run down, tired ...

I have run 7 marathons and endless halfs, 10ks, 5ks. I am a terrible map reader and sometimes will drive a marathon course if I have the chance but other than that I go in with blind faith and perfer not to really know the course. I know I will not be the lead runner but also know I have run many ra...

Um, I think I did too many. With Florida racing season in the winter and then coming back to Winnipeg in Sept for a few more..I did 19 in Florida, 6 in Winnipeg and 1 in Vegas..This included only 2 marathons and 3 1/2s, 10 miler and the rest 5 and 10ks. Now I am eating M&Ms I bought in Vegas, mo...

Excellent race CR! Great to meet you on Saturday. Hope you are feeling better!

Dwayne you did awesome even with all the Ps. A PB is nothing to poop at! I have confidence you will qualify for Boston, you are one step closer. Maybe Hammer gels would work better for you? However who am I to say as one came up on me too!

It was great to meet you Mike, always smiling! Thanks for indulging me in a gin! You had a great run. Peaking and tapering often happen in the same week for me!
