The reason I ask about the length of the marathon is that I'm at the store at the moment and the last 2 questions I had were:How long is the 10K Race in Fergus? and Is it true that the Half-Marathon is 30K and the marathon is 42K??

Was the Fergus question from one of your former students?

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your posts about my race. It was an absolutely incredible day. I am thrilled with my 14:03. I was definitely on track for a sub-14, but I had some GI problems and ended up in almost every port-a-potty on the second lap of the run (I think I visited 10 out of 13!!). My biggest goal was to keep running the run and I was able to do that. My legs felt great. I only walked the big hills and I walked sometimes when my stomach was cramping (no more Gatorade for me!!). Other than that, though, I was running. It hurt bad, but I was able to keep the Ironman shuffle going, so I was so happy. I'll post a full RR in the multisport forum later today.Thanks again! That last 300 meters to the finish line are unbelievable. I will never forget that feeling!!

Thanks very much, everyone. It was certainly a wild ride. Now I have to work on getting faster instead of going longer. I'm going to work towards a BQ in the next couple of years as well as getting faster at the 1/2 IM distance.Thinking about a 1/2 marathon this fall and a full next year. Is anyone running a local marathon this fall? I'm thinking about Toronto since I think Scotiabank course is just too boring.

Hey Dawn, there is one in Oakville on Labour Day - maybe that's too early, but, if so, it would be a great training run! It should be very pretty as it goes along Lakeshore Rd past all the rich peoples homes, and thru some other very pretty neighbourhoods. I am planning to do it as its a short run week for me and I need to support my town! Here's the link:http://www.oakvillehalfmarathon.com Tempo run with the group tonight - 7.2 km at @ 5:15 pace. It felt fine but it was very humid!! Patti

I didn't think it was all that hot, but the sweat was pouring off of me, so I guess it was. I ran the same workout (8k tempo).

Thought I better post before we fell off Page 1.I'm back from Tennessee and have actually started to run again. I'm about 14 pounds over what I can reasonably run at so I better put the beers and burgers away and concentrate on eating healthy as I begin to build up miles again.

...and you wonder why I never get lonely.

I'm on vacation, but this is a stay-at-home type of break. Yesterday I put up all the trim in my daughter's bedroom, today I'll pick another room to work at. Meantime, 10ish miles yesterday in the stinking heat, an hour today with some tempoish stuff in there. For the rest of today, putter around and wait for the rain to arrive.

Back from Nova Scotia - we had a great time. Spent most of our time in CBI with family. Spent Sunday in Halifax. I love that city! Had unusually hot weather the whole time. Didn't wear any of the pants or sweatshirts that I brought. I swam a few times while I was there, but no running or anything like that. It's been 2 weeks since my race, so I guess I'll get back running soon.

You are quite the conversationalist JC Spent the long weekend in Southampton. My long run was 24k which I did by running from SOuthampton to Port Elgin and back, a good part of it along the lake, the rest looking at the beautiful homes developing in the area. It amazing how the scenery makes the run seem easier! I wish I could run that every weekend. 11k today as a wuss on my treadmill. Hills tomorrow with the group - hopefully its cooler! Patti

Went for my first run post-Lake Placid on Saturday. Felt kind of cr*ppy, but I think it will just take some time to get back in the game. Full workout schedule starts this week (I hope).Yesterday, DH and I went for a mountain bike ride at Albion Hills. What a blast! We were riding in some rain, but it wasn't too bad. Really fun trails and we were covered in mud after!!

Hey Everybody,Looks like just about everybody back into the game. I will be a Pace Fairy at 2:45 again for the Midsummer Night's 30K this Saturday. Might have a new tutu to wear this year. You will have to pay me big bucks if you want me to post a picture.

Hey, Eddie, would you settle for a beer and some fashion advice?Another lovely long run, 27k, on Saturday along the Mississauga Waterfront trail with my fast friend who is taking the summer off, therefore willing to run at my pace.
Followed that by hitting the Oakville Jazz festival Sat night, then the Taste of the Danforth Sunday afternoon, which was disappointing because of the rain. 13K faster pace run today(5:30k). Struggling a bit with motivation. Patti [This message has been edited by Strep (edited Aug-14-2007).]
