Hoping to hear from everyone who ran today, 5k, half or marathon. I was delighted to set a big PB at 1:42:58 in the half. Simon.

Way to go guys! Simon - you've only been running for 2 years???? You wouldn't have wanted a better day for a race! I bet it was a tad chilly to start, though. Congratulations all around!

Hamilton in 2 weeks - who's with me????! Dave

You are one sick puppy, I'm not racing again until the ATB. My legs were just throbbing and I almost felt like crying. No real damage done, well actually none at all but throbbing like I've never felt before. Much better already though as the legs feel just like the normal tired throbbing I get after a long run. Good Job everyone it was a great day! Amazing coming from the back of the pack Dave. For those that dn't know at about the 4km mark Dave comes up behind me and casually says Hi. That's when I first foundout he started at the back......the very back!

Thanks man, duh- Me trying to logon to the toronto marathon site.

Outstanding day. Am I right to understand we ALL PB-ed? S-W-E-E-T!!! 3:33 for me. The last 4k were the toughest. Sorry I missed most of you. Great work. Very impressive. More tomorrow. I am watching 'There Will Be Blood' and eating candy. Might have another beer. Special props to JasonR as the best post-run support crew evah!

Seems like we all had great runs! Mutual congratulations all round; I hope Redleaf will check in and also have good news. I am starting to appreciate how tough it must be to run a marathon in under 4 hours- not for me thanks! Jason, sorry we didn't bump into each other, nice run, well done! Simon.

Aww thanks. I actually wrote a note under the previous thread! I volunteered at the race today. I spent so much time pouring gatorade my hands are that lovely shade of neon yellow-green! Unfortunately it also meant I was looking down the whole time and not able to cheer you all on (although I was thinking of you!) I think my next race will be the 5k at the beginning of December. I will ask the physio guy tomorrow and see what he says. On the plus side I was out for over an hour again Saturday morning even if it was 5:1s!

Feeling great today a little stiff when walking down steps but all in all I've recovered extremely well. I was at the start early enough to catch the half start. I obviously didn't see any of you guys. I stayed inside the north york city hall until the start of the race. Just wearing shorts and T so I wasn't going to stand around outside. I never even saw the Tim Hortons, although I did notice a second cup but it looked to crowded to grab a coffee. Sorry I missed you guys. As I've said before the Mid summers night run seems ideal for hanging around. Good job you didn't see me right after the race Jason, moaning and groaning like a very old man Funny thing I didn't get nipple bleeding but I have a small mole on my back that got chaffed and the back of my white shirt had about 10 square inches of blood stain. No crap the stain was about 1.5 inches wide and 6 inches long. Must have been quite the shocking sight to those behind me. Another weird thing at around the 28 km mark, this guy I'm just about to past yells "Watch out for the post" well I almost stumble and almost stop. For a fraction of a second I'm thinking ... Whoa who is halucinating here I don't see a post. I wonder if the guy made out alright he was still plugging along when I looked back about 20 yards later. So I guess one of the Daves is moving on to Hamilton, since the Goodlife Marathon is SO yesterday Great that you were volunteering Lisa, I missed you as well......I did say I zoneout when I run . I only took on water or gatorade at every other stop.

but all in all I've recovered extremely well.

Already? 24 hours? Are those legal drugs????
