I will have all the time in the world for pre-race meet up ........ So let's say, anytime after 9 ... I will be lingering around the Tim Horton's near the start.

Of course, I meant, anytime after 8:00 Services and Funeral were today. Very emotional, but after a year of suffering, she is definitely in a better place now as is the entirely family who pretty much mourned the inevitable for over a year. Anita is running Sunday. She will be slightly undertrained, but finds great solace in running, especially in the atmosphere of a big event. We have had 2 straight days of coffee, wine, and party sandwiches as our main source of nutrition. this is good right?

Hope everything went smoothly yesterday, Dave. As promised, here are the details where we could meet: South side of Mel Lastman Square. From Yonge St., at the south end of the square, you'll see outdoor concrete stairs going down to a long courtyard-like area with a fountain and trees. We could meet at the bottom of the stairs. You can also reach this area from the parking lots behind Mel Lastman Square. Just follow the long lower level courtyard eastward towards Yonge Street. My running club has met at this spot in prior years, there are doors that lead inside to warmth if it's chilly and washrooms. I am planning to meet others for the buses from the Marriott Courtyard hotel (Yonge/College) around 600-615, and will be at Mel Lastman Square as soon as the buses drop us off. MTA: in the event we miss each other - Good luck everyone! I'll be lining up by the 3:40 pace bunny.
