Have fun Michelle!

Yes...being away with your honey is definitely better than a half-marathon. I think the race is called the 'Last Chance Half Marathon (1st annual)'.

Hi Guys...how's everything out there in God's Country??

I'm working at Running Room, leading clinics, leading running groups and having a pantload of fun.

I'm planning on the Las Vegas half...it's near Calgary isn't it??

torque - Basement renos...very nice! No doubt you'll love having the extra usable space. Haven't signed up yet. Apparently, I have a bit more time and I'm using it to ensure the 'leg is good enough to go'. Still very tight, but have an appt with my old PT while I am back in Ontario on Monday. We'll see what he says.

jc - God's country...ahhhh, the angels are singing, the air is clean, and I'm enjoying a huge cup of coffee! Come on out. I'm sure the RR stores would welcome you with open arms. As for Vegas...very cool! Would love to do that one as well.

Goldens, she has been sick since the middle of July. Don't know what's going on but she had a miserable time with intestinal bloating that left her sreaming in pain in the fetal position. Headaches that Tylonel would not touch and she lost about 4 lbs.

Since that time, the bloating episodes have become fewer and the headaches, the same. We have been feeding her a supplementary diet drinks to try to get her weight up and it seems to be working.

She just had a gastroscopy done with the tests coming back negative...nada...zip. Each test they conduct eliminates something else but leaves us still scratching our heads. We are now waiting to see a specialist on auto-immune diseases. Her blood indicates something wonky is going on but as of yet, they haven't discovered what the heck is going on.

It was a really special week that summer because Ben was also preliminary diagnosed with having Tourettes syndrome..Oh joy...oh bliss....

Hope that answers your question Grizz.

Well, it was a bit chilly this morning, but a perfect day for a half-marathon. I like this kind of weather for long runs.

Grizz, Michelle....I definitely recommend this one. Torque was tearing up the course once again. He just keeps getting faster! The entry fee also included a great lunch at Brewsters after the race, so it was nice to sit back and relax.

I think we should all mark it in our calendars for 2005.
