Got a good 2:10 run in today in Taylor Creek/Edwards Gardens/Sunnybrook. The last 3 miles were tough, but they always are. Beautiful day for a run!

Hey Gang,

Fitchic, Minime and I are at the grand opening of the Nike Runner's Lounge on Yonge at Summerhill. Just got back from a 5K run and are scarfing down some waffles, fruit and granola. Nice digs. They have a snacks and hydration bar and massage table going.

It's a showcase store for runners to hang out, check out new gear, i.e. the Nike+ system, try new shoes, and go for a run.

We need to get together with the entire Ontario gang to check it out in the near future.

Whose in?

Eddie

I'd love to get together with everyone. The only problem is that my weekends are getting heavy with my riding. I'll do my best to make it, though.

What a lovely weekend we had! Got out riding both days - 4 hours on Saturday and 3 on Sunday with a brick run on Sunday too. Day off today. Good thing too - I need it!

Where is aurang? He has been very silent.

I'm registered and running. Won't be stellar, but I'm doing it. Who else will be there?

Nice weather and the forecast looks great for Sunday!

I'm running the half.

I started my training on Sunday...13.4 miles

Tuesday I did hills

Today I did some speedwork

Tomorrow just a steady 6 miler

Friday off

Saturday...Friendship Run with John Stanton.

Saturday afternoon...taper

Sunday ...race day...hoping to break 2:30 unless we stop for lunch at 16 KM...Sunset Grill, right beside Running Room...then we're hoping to break 3 hours.

I think I should run one of those shorter half-marathons.

He read that for marathon training, you need to run 70 miles a week. So right now he's half-way across Alberta pah-dum...pah!.

I'll be there. I sign-ed myself up yesterday for the arf-a-marathon. I need to run it and get home before anyone knows I'm gone.

Hey guys, I am running the marathon on Sunday, yes.

Jim, I'll probably see you in those first few rows. Good luck to everyone.

Ed, if you're going to be at the expo, I'll come by and say hi.

Hi Gang,

Best O Luck to everyone running the Mississauga race.

I will be working the Running Room booth Friday and Saturday, so drop by and say hi.

Looks like everyone busy racing or training. I'll be running the Halifax Marathon next weekend, then I'm working the expo at the Ottawa Marathon the following weekend.

So it looks like our meet date at the Nike Runner's Lounge will take place in June. Precise date and time TBA.

I hope that includes me, even though what I plan to do may not actually fall under the classification of "running".

Good luck everyone...for those half and full runners who don't beat my time Sunday...well I hope your injury isn't too serious.

I predict rain and cold in Halifax

(I think I know why it's called the Bluenose marathon, and it ain't because of some boat). I'll find you at the expo in mississauga.

Craig, thanks for the wishes. We'll see how it goes, weather looks perfect for Sunday.

aurang, do you have a way out to Mississauga race morning? I can always do a pickup on the way out.
