Sounds like a good time for a digital camera. A photo of the jersey perhaps?

Here we go - kinda purpley. (I hope this works) I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible!

Now that is a standout Jersey.

Not to mention DH reminded me to take the picture right after I finished my last run! So there I am grinning like a goofball (ran 10:1s again 4 times after taking a week off!) stinking up my lovely jersey!

I'll be thinking about you guys tomorrow. GOOD LUCK!!!!! P.R.'s all around!

Nice job, Dave and Pat! (3:38 and 4:12 respectively). Damn fine efforts. Glad Jason and I could see you at the start and wish you good luck, Pat. Great effort on your first ever marathon. Anxious to get your report. Dave, not sure if you heard me yell at you or not (King and Bay). Awesome work, man. Congrats on a signficant PB.

Thanks! Ya, good job to all. Went well for me, made a couple of stupid mistakes. 1. Wasted almost 2 minutes waiting at a porto-potty instead of using bushes then tried to hard too fast to make that time up right away. 2. I let a man down really get to me. I was pushing it at 37K and ran past a guy being helped on a stretcher. I immediately let it affect me and back right off and coasted in very comfortably not wanting to end up like him. Shit, I am healthy, a lot younger, and probably much better trained that that guy but, oh well - the mind is so powerful. Should have been able to pull off a > 3:35 easy. Other than that I am happy, and looking to get it closer to 3:30 at Toronto, as long as I recover nicely. Dave MTA: Dave, I heard yelling for my name but couldn't tell where it came from.

Congratulations guys! I am honoured and humbled to be in your company. Can I live vicariously through you? One of my friends ran the 5 k and placed 10th in his age category. Considering the size of the field, a great accomplishment. Enjoy this beautiful day!

Thanks guys, I put a modest report in the racing thread, wasn't all that thrilled with my time but hey it was my first, so I am happy. Great run Dave, Wow, you are doing fantastic the PB's are coming with every race. Good job Lisa, I was surprised wth your great time as wel,l congrats. Thank Toby again for the Gatorade I was surprised we'd see each other. Oh yeah and Lisa, you suck as a photographer, don't quit your day job

Awesome, just awesome. I got jacked up watching this morning. Sort of made me wish I was racing. Put in a solid 21 mi. run on Sat ending along the Northshore Hills (Burlington - AtB route). That's the last really long run now until Oct 19. Wow, Dave. You've thrown down the gauntlet and raised the bar. We should give some thought to running GoodLife together to see how we could push one another (if I could keep up...). You're the man to beat. Pat, impressive first marathon. It will be interesting to see how you feel in three weeks. I recommend a 3 mi. recovery run tomorrow at around a 10-11 min/mi. pace. V-e-r-y s-l-o-w... Way to go everyone. Inspiring.
