Unlikely - I'm going to have to leave later in the day. My current best option is YYC-YEG-YHZ-BOS-LGA :)

Return will probably be Porter to YTZ, then on to Burlington. I'll see if I can get a subway, airplane, ferry, GO train and city bus on the same itinerary.

all right....things have gotten back to normal....
just checked my entry in the database today and it's now reading:

You have been assigned to Wave Start 3 at 10:20 a.m.


I would have been moving back anyway, but at least it's officially changed....

Wave start 2 at 10 a.m.

I'll be running a pretty slow pace, so I may move back.

Eee! I just found out that Ryan Reynolds is running this. So, if any of you see him, please use your race belt to snare him and tie him up, and ship him to my house, please. COD!! He's in wave 1.

Barring that, maybe take a picture? Pretty please?

I guess there is ONE reason I should train for a marathon...

*edit: this article just makes me crush on him more:

Are you reading Perez Hilton too? Because I *just* saw this there and immediately thought of you and of bringing this glorious news to RM too. :)
