The February "blah's"...how do YOU beat them and what's keep
So the dreariest month of the year is upon us, and for many people (especially those who live in a colder climate as I do here in Ontario, Canada) it tends to be the hardest month to stay motivated when it comes to their fitness goals and workout routines. I'm interested in hearing what people are doing to stay motivated…

True story...this TOTALLY cracked me up !
http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1125133--zamboni-driver-arrested-for-driving-drunk-during-peewee-hockey-game?bn=1 I can almost see the police chasing him around the ice surface in their cruiser, with sirens blaring and lights flashing. That would have been worth the price of admission right there !

January mileage totals (and what kind of miles ?)
For all the runners out there, I'm interested in hearing what your total January mileage was ? I'm also interested in hearing from anyone living in an area that experiences a true "winter". Do you still run outside regardless of the snow, wind, and cold, or do you only run indoors in the winter months. Or do you utilize a…

Question for first time half and full marathon runners...
From time to time I’ll be engaged in a conversation with someone, and the topic of my running hobby will come up. More often than not, if I happen to I mention that I’m currently training to run a marathon in October, the response that I get will be total silence, a blank stare, a few rapid blinks of the eyes, then a…

So...I hit a car today.
Literally. I was running early this morning , around 5:30 am, on a sidewalk close to my house. I was wearing my headlamp, as well as reflective pants and jacket. There were streetlights as well. I was approaching an intersection and I saw a car approaching from my left, signalling a right hand turn. The driver pulled up…

Don't be afraid !!!
Don’t ever be afraid to set goals for yourself that may really stretch your perceived limits. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself to achieve something that others may tell you is impossible to do. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself to do something that YOU think is impossible to do. And don’t be afraid to fail. There…

Upcoming FUN races in your area ???
I have a bunch of vacation time to use up before the end of the year and would love to head away and run a race somewhere. Half marathon or 30k race is likely preferred so that I can still "enjoy" myself while I'm away without worrying TOO much about sleep and diet and hangovers and jetlag. Las Vegas Rock and Roll Marathon…

Amber Alert: :laugh:
Missing: My running partner's boobs. Last seen on June 12th, the first day of her gruelling and intense 18 week marathon training schedule. They seem to have just disappeared out of mid air. When called, they'll answer to the names Betty and Barb. If found, please contact either myself or tigerbluefly here on MFP. Reward…

To hill or not to hill...
I'm currently training for a marathon, scheduled for mid October. I just completed week 9 of the 18 week training schedule. Next Saturday, I am entered in a 30k race in Toronto. Here's my dilemma. Should I ease off a wee bit this week from my scheduled training plan runs in order to be fresher for the long race next week…

1st post
***looks around*** Just a quick note to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Tim, from Cambridge, Ontario. Hoping to get to meet a few people on here who may be willing and able to help me achieve my fitness goals, and maybe share a few laughs along the way. Oh, and If you're a Philadelphia Phillies or Flyers…
