Then you're all set. See you there!

Oh, I agree w/that too... just wasn't feeling agreeable on the participating part! And why not, may we ask? Don't you care about those poor children, Susan? I'd say it's practically your duty to run through Yorkville in your "small clothes" (as they say out East)! LG PS/ Those urchins better apprec...

Check this out lbgradwell Just got this note from the race director... who by the way also appears to be our new member. How cool is that?

Wasn't this because you started kindergarden at 14?

:lol: Didn't think you were serious, BG1... By the way, I think it is more than acceptable for all male participants in this event to stuff a sock down the front of their Speedo!! :shock: It's -9C today with windchill, so unless they make windSpeedos, this will represent a significant risk to the go...

I'm of the opinion that Speedo (tm) can be used interchangeably with speedo (skimpy swim outfit). They aren't going to turn anyone away from making a fool of themselves and donating to charity for wont of a brand label. That would be like showing up for a race sponsored by Nike and getting tossed f...

Do they actually require a Speedo brand suit, or will any racing type swim suit do? (Just helping you out here lbgradwell) Thanks! I don't really know...

Like I said, I actually would do it, but I won't buy a Speedo either, and the chances of being one of the first 30 registrants is slim...

Speedo should step up and provide free suits for all!

Really?! Did you hide me a pair of 13Ds?

I use those as my "racing" shoe when not clomping along in my Beasts... Speaking of which, did you happen to notice any of those there?

Rain? Snow? Ice pellets?

I used Hal Higdon's Novice Schedule since it only called for 4 runs a week, and that is my maximum. In fact, even then, I find it hard on my body, so I tended to alternate weeks of 3 and 4 runs. I did no strength training and no speedwork at all, and my longest training run had been 32km, and only o...

Extraordinary! Congrats!!!

Cheryl, since you are so close to your marathon you might want to go see your doctor immediately and have him/her look at it. If it's nothing then no harm done. If it is something, then you haven't wasted a couple of days of treatment. Good advice. Healing vibes, Cheryl! The Rideau canal is startin...

Using GoogleEarth and my Garmin 301 I am guessing the ride was 92 meters. 92m?! You didn't tell me that, Alan! Holy crap!

You certainly shouldn't feel stressed about your running; running should be about relieving stress, not causing it... As mentioned above, do your 4 weekly runs, and vary the distance, gradually building the length of your longest run at a pace that is comfortable to you. Again, if you feel like thro...

That is an awesome improvement in your PB!! Six and a half minutes off a 1.45 time e is amazing and shows you've being putting in some real quality training. And it was done on a wonky leg. Wow!!!!! That "slow" marathon helped by being more of a last long training run. I would say a sub 3.30 is com...

...who says muscles don't get oxygen during anaerobic activity? The term itself; "anaerobic", by definition, means "in the absence of oxygen". "Hitting the wall" refers to the point at which your body depletes its store of carb energy (i.e. glycogen) and has to burn fat for additional fuel. But thi...
