Re: Sulphur Springs 2013 - Who's In??

Spirit , a double 26.2 sounds like some perfect LSD to make for an easy 50 miler in a couple of Months. You sure have some great options in the "Deep South". Have fun and enjoy the moment.

Sincerely , West Grey "Deep Freeze" ... yup my trails are still under 2 feet of Snow!

Re: Robbie-T @ ATB 1013

I read your report earlier this week and just have to comment. I can't imagine how tough it is to perform at such a high caliber so consistently. The more one runs on the edge of their capability the tougher it is to maintain. I know how disappointed you are in not achieving you goal but man were yo...

Re: Run Woodstock

I am in for the 100 miler. If you are doing one of the shorter races then be sue to take in the free fun runs. I did the 5K on Friday Eve and it was allot of fun. A couple of Ks in you can go left and run natural for a K or so or turn right to keep your clothes on. I was surprised to see the majorit...

Re: Another Ontario Marathon: But indoors in January

Wish Ottawa was closer. I love to run indoor tracks ... did 56K at York U a week and a bit ago! Etiquette dictates faster runner on the inside. No running abreast. iPod is OK if low ...dumb rule to say no tunes!!! Shoulder check and signal when changing lanes. Its weird but you would think that it w...

Re: 2013 Creemore Snow Run!

It was a fun day of slip sliding around avoiding getting swept away in the raging torrent that is the gentle river so many of us have soothed out aching muscles in. Big thanks to Pierre and Le Anne for organizing and hosting us yet again.

Re: Seaton Trail Cancelled for 2013

Bummer ... its one tough course but it will really be missed, it was a good season opener! PYP is an awesome course , I suspect with Seatons demise that we will see a few more folks at Horse Shoe.

Re: Run4RKids 6 hours

You had a fantastic Run Chris. You looked incredibly fresh and were moving as well in the last hour as the first. What ever you have been doing keep doing it! Nice was to start off the 2013 Ultra Season.
