I'm sad. :( This will be my first year not participating for many, many years (well except for 2005-at a wedding in Calgary, which is a good thing because I missed the brutal weather). :shock: 1990 was my first 1/2 marathon and it was Winnipeg.

Edit-changed date from 1989 to 1990-good memory-just short. :roll:

Manitoba will always be special to me. Before I was a runner I lived for a few years right by the stadium and heard the crowd and music every year and had no idea I'd be there myself someday.

2005 was something, yes. I was on track for a much better race in 2008 (the year I met you there) until mile 13, and then 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs saved me from a DNF>

Try and behave my friend. Why don't you just book your ticket to Winnipeg. You seem to love Winnipeg and the race. Heck you like it more than we do! :lol:

If KBO hadn't s*cked me in last week into Chicago 10-10-10, I would have most likely made it back to Winnipeg for sure this year, but alas ... no more $$$ for flight nor hotel at the moment .. :( :( Though, I could always cancel my 16 Mediterrean Cruise in April ... :shifty: :shock: :lol: :wink:

S*cked you in?! Why am I to blame?

Anyway, no offense to the MB Marathon - but Chicago is waaaaaaay more fun.

And, likely more Winnipeg Maniacs running in Chicago 10-10-10 than in the Manitoba Marathon weekend, I suspect ... :shock: :lol: :wink:

Not this one. I know where I owe my allegiance. :P

Besides, the MB Marathon and I have some unfinished business. :twisted:

I've run MB three times. I'm just done with the race. Quite a few of us have opted to run Fargo this year (one month earlier than MB). It's always good to mix things up a bit.
