Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Actually there are only 15 spaces left...I'm 710. I sent out an e-mail to all Paris runners to sign up today...or they'll miss out...I couldn't believe how fast it filled up! Florie warned us just last week that is was filling fast...but heck I'm a biiiiiig procrastinator...and I see she hasn't signed up yet? But she can always 'charm' her way in...

It was an off night for me...I was rushed to get to the studio after working outside all day and I must have messed up the numbers at least ten times. But at least I can laugh at myself...I do have fun doing the show...as goofy as it is...If only people could read my mind. People who know me know exactly what I'm thinking though...I just want to tell them..."Have a F'ing YARD SALE!"
LMAO

hehe... it was only a promo for the show - so just a 30 second bit. But I'll be sure to keep my eye out for it!!

I know a t.v star!

Wow... I ran 10k last night and must confess it was a rough go. I'm attempting to get back into the 10, 8, 5, LSD routine for the St. Marys River Road Run, and then (hopefully, but if I don't show then you'll have to pretend you never read this) flories half in November. Is she still running the half???

Might have been the weather or something though... even the dog was half dead when we got home.

Everyone's invited, of course -- new members are always welcome. We do have a few members in the U.S., but the community is mainly Canadian. The site just celebrated its first anniversary.

There'll be a bunch of the forumites ("Maniacs") at the Toad, and I think there are at least a few coming down for the Paris Grand Half as well. Look for the orange T-shirts.

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Well... the dog fell of the bed this morning. Does that count?

Quite funny actually... super early in the morning, all of a sudden... THUMP - the dog had fallen off the bed. What a doofus.

He's my new running partner - we've gone up to 10k together. I haven't pushed him past that, afraid of hurting his joints (not to mention mine!!). When it was really hot out and if we're running during the day instead of the evening we head out down river road and make a pit stop in the river so he can cool off and look longingly at the ducks.

Last night during our 8k run we went over the Trestle. A family of kids and a dad on bikes went past us - it was the cutest thing, they all rang their little bike bells before they zoomed past us, even the little boy with the training wheels.

St. Marys is a nice town.

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Holy **** I've been busy! If it's not one thing it's another. I was just on holidays and feel like I need some more! Fitting my running in hasn't been easy and the best times for me lately is in the morning. It's been great weather to run in, hasn't it? I did my long run on sunday again. This seems to be a habit that last few weeks. I wasn't feeling good on saturday so I decided to cut it short at 12k. Nothing really wrong, just I couldn't get my breathing right and just felt really tired. It didn't help that I slept in and was late.We missed all the Iroqois Trail testers...I hope they had a good race. And I had to miss two parties and our golf day. I hope you all had fun without me....I doubt it though...

Just one more week and my daughter is back to university..whooohooo! Love her, but she drives me insane. It will be nice to have the remote back, the couch back, the frig back, the bathroom back, the computer back, the basement back and my sanity. Its amazing how you notice it when they leave and then come back. I know it won't be lng though before I'll be saying "When she coming home?" but for now it's " how many days?" Anyone else looking forward to back to school?

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Saturdays run, the 32k Iroquois trail test.....was a test that, this year, for the first time ever, i was DNF. Yeah, Lisa and i were running along, having a really great time, and then down i went....in rocks and totally dislocated my baby finger. I though that Lisa and i were going to be sick......it looked so gross. From the first knuckle, my finger was bent at a 90 degree angle. We had to walk 5k in the bush, to get to the road to get someone to take me to the hospital.....where they, ah, set it. All i can say is that i didn't yell. So. luckily Lisa was there, but obviously, she was dnf as well. Jody did great, she came in first in her age group.
Golfing was alot of fun, from what i hear......i missed it, but of course didnt miss the party afterwards, neither did i miss Lisa and Scotts engagement party on Saturday, whichi is why i declined pain pills.
Doing ok, just sore, a little frusterated....i hate having anything holding me back. Typing sucks so i'm keeping that to a minimum.
I heard that Sat mornings run was cut short.........seems when i'm not around everyone just does whatever!
Back to reality this Sat. tho.

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Oh my gawd! You must have just freaked...but you are a trooper...you may have DNF'd the race but you made it through the partys! And that's what counts! And so brave not to take pain killers...you are strong...

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

I know...everyone must be on holidays. We're all trying to enjoy these last days of summer. I can't believe it's Labour Day weekend already. You know summer has ended when the Paris Fair is on. And I can't believe how cool it's been in the morning. I'm thinking about breaking out the long sleeves for my morning runs.

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Well, ran last night with the group running into Brantford and I gotta tell you I am a little worried about my marathon on the 24th what with the left achilles acting up and all. It didn't feel too bad while I was running but when I got back downtown it was feeling uncomfortable around a 5 out of 10 on the scale. All you can do is keep on keeping on, we will see how it feels on Saturday. Any suggestions? HK

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Hashiro - how's the achilles in your 30-something on the weekend? The Clydes back strong - 25 Km with mini-Clydes and her sister. One quick electric pain at 24.2 but went away & stayed away. What distance is slated for you this weekend ?

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Hi ClydesD, the run on sat. turn out to be around the 33 km mark and except for a long, and I mean long, hill on Pottruff Rd. I think that it went rather well. This weekend I think is a 25 or there abouts, I'm not quite sure. Glad to hear your run went well, looking forward to the half in Disneyland? HK

Hills? What hills? I live in Paris.

Re: Paris, ON Runners Forum

Well I've been quietly lurking...vacations etc had me slow down some of my running but hoping to nail 15km as my long run next week...

Tonite I decided to pull a 5km time trial..and landed a new PB 24:55sec..In studying it afterwords I can see 24 min is doable..here's what I find..

I can keep up a solid pace for 3km then it starts to get very hard..if I ease off a bit in the first km I may get more steam in the tank, but I need to find a way to creep up the distance at the solid pace..

My goal is to hit up florie's run in Nov if it's still on, I'm gonna do the half just the 5km
