If you get to Toronto, lots of choices including what Holly suggested - the CN Tower and Center Island - two ideal places from which to view the city, one from on high, one from the water. With the kids, you can also consider places like the Ontario Science Center, Ontario Museum, or even a Blue Jays baseball game.

Oh, puh-lease! PJ, I'm shocked at this advice. Toronto means one thing: www.hhof.com nono--heh heh; I like that idea.

Ran a lesiurely 10 miles 10:52 pace at lunchtime, diffusely sunny , a little windy, and MILD 50F or thereabouts. Strange, I was scraping frost off the car this morning! Had one long sleeve on plus shorts and was just right. Absense of runners on such a beautiful day was a bit odd. Sometimes I push to 10 miles mid-week just so that I can get a tselb's LR mention the next day! Hey, it's motivation!

Late in the day post after two days of driving and meetings. Great runs here today and yesterday----special shout-out to to Ms. I Love the Track Maraposai. Excellent work! I can't wait to see the results in person at a race nearby. 3 Wednesday miles in the early morning, 6 Thursday miles in the even earlier morning---pressed for time and ended up running at 8:00 pace, abs and weights when I got home. I was in Boston today and the marathon banners are up and look fabulous (I was on Boylston Street). The shirts this year are bright yellow by the way. This has been a winner week as far as running goes and I remain ever hopeful about knocking down a new master's marathon PR in the Fall----what with all the footsteps gaining on me, I better stay focused. The passport/card discussion made me think of this summer when we were on the minor league/major league baseball game fan tour with the kiddo. We drove from Rochester, NY to Toronto with my in-laws----five of us stuffed into a Subaru wagon. Yours truly knew that passports weren't needed just then and felt fine about just having my license with me. I did bring along my expired passport and ended up inside having to answer all sort of questions. I was born in Zurich, Switzerland and that created a ruckus. My in-laws ask every week if I have a new passport....and YES I do now! I just didn't want to give up my old passport with all the stamped pages. Definitely visit the Hockey Hall of Fame----close to the baseball stadium and great fun.

That picture made my day

Mari,thank you so very much..you my dear made my run better tonight, thanks....you make me envious of track work...U'S FAST! Thanks Steve, ummm...the guy who shut down the "lets find a date for Timbo on Craigs list" thread...you are a funny guy. Yes, a mile is a mile in the bank. Erika...this has bugged me allll day long girl. We all say good run - great run - greta run - WTG - and such, and really mean it here at RA. But, later in the afternoon I looked at your log on your 10 mile tempo run....your not so good about posting times and paces ya know! But after looking at your training log, I noticed your time and pace...that was a great tempo run @ 8:05 pace - 1:20 and some change. I was the one who asked ya to make your log visable to people that would like to see it, and learn from a awesome runner....thanks. There was a comment about that being "maybe" too long for a "tempo run", nope...a perfect distance and great run for a person who runs Marathons. I personally think 10 miles is the perfect distance....not too far, not too short, but just right...WTG Ok, feel much better now TimBO
