Arne, I see you got a run in today. How is it going? Still on for the Toronto Marathon? Dave

Hey, welcome back. I am glad to hear you are not injured. We hada 10 day vacation that caused me to miss a lot of runs as well, but not too extreme. I have switched to running the Columbus Ohio run a week later. Reasons being... 1. My wifde and daughter are running the half and I want to be there to see them finish as I missed them when we ran in Ottawa, and they missed me too! So separate races will make the support teams better 2. I instruct a half marathon clinic out of the Beaches Running Room, so I would like to be there to watch them run their races as well. 2. We do like little road trips now and again so Columbus here we come. There are about 10 RA members heading down. tuf_aint_enuf is heading down with a dozen or so as well. I am running the Scotiabank Half Marathon Sept 30 as a tune up. The restof my training is going well. My long runs have left me feeling like running more, even at paces faster than my marathon, whereas earlier this year I was exhausted at the end them. So my endurance and speed seem to be improving. I don;t know yet whether I plan to go for3:20, but 3:30 is a definate at this point. I will keep my out for you at the 3:20 mark at the Toronto race. What's your bib #? cheers
