Another trail race that I could not pass up for just $25. I went for the 25k distance. I also ordered the Chili for after the race since it is in November and probably freezing. One month after the Scotia Marathon. Really hoping I am still upright and intact by this point. What is wrong with us? Seriously?

Wrong? It's what's good with us that we need to share, buddy. How's preps for the Waterfront going?
I know, Iβm just kidding. π Itβs an affliction but itβs a happy one.
Things are going alright for the mara prep. Last few weeks have included a 30 and 32 with a 21 break week. Next week is the final 34k push before taper. I may try a trail out with a buddy of mine for the 34.
You're there. Respect taper, every bit will count. I made rookie errors before my maiden marathon, won't repeat them again. I'll be travelling on 20 October but will give you all of my 'virtual' support.

That looks sweet (I had to check out the videos of the raceπ€). It reminds me a lot of the fall trail race I ran last September. It was such a pretty treed course with all the leaves changing colour and running through piles of leaves. Unfortunately it isn't running this year. They also had post run chilli - a great fall post race meal π. Enjoy the event. I can't wait to hear all about it.
Thanks Sask. I hope some leaves are still on the trees by then:).I am looking forward to the chili! Of course this all hinges on me not falling apart at Scotia π. But it will be nice to have the next thing to focus on after the marathon.

Looks like a pretty cool trail run! And Chili on a cold day after a race will go down well Iβm sure. π How could you not run a race with a name like that.
The new Toronto Dufferin parkrun βs inaugural run was last Saturday.In Montreal we have a marathon age group podium runner come to ours and some pace bunnies. They are for everyone. Oops, that sounds too much like a promo!
Good luck with your final long run and taper!
Yeah the name kinda pulled me in I have to admit π. I never say no to chili!
I had no idea there was a Toronto park run now! I may go give it a try. I am out of the loop on the park run news. Sounds like the Montreal one is very well established.

In the last 7 or 8 weeks weβve had between 60 and 107 participants a week which is good for us. We started with about 20 participants each week 2 years ago, many of whom were tourists. Weβre now getting new locals all the time. π
Thats great that you are getting so much traction in the community. Running is getting so popular now!

Oh I bet the bling will be good and chili will be just the ticket!
Not sure about the bling as it is quite a small race, but they look like they know how to have fun ππ
They do!

I would love to run this race!!!!! I need to go to Canada πππ
Looks like a good one eh? You should absolutely come over and run it too, how great would that be?
Just what I was thinking.
Yes or imagine a HU meetup in the UK at a trail race. That could be fun too.

Racing for chilli. Sounds good to me. Whatβs not to like πΆππββοΈ
Right? It should be fun after all the seriousness of the marathon
misswobbleMarathon
i know marathons are serious business but hopefully still fun π
yes I will give my head a shake and try to have some fun with it :). I will feel a bit more confident after this weekend long run is in the bag.
misswobbleMarathon
Yes, of course π. When that run is in the bag youβll skip home ππββοΈ
haha - well after 34k I hope I can at least walk to the car tomorrow 
misswobbleMarathon
Go steady and youβll be fine ππͺπ.
Iβm in long run territory now My last one was 26 km so iβm Expecting the plan to say at least 28k. Could be 30. Iβm not training beyond 32 km Thatβs my cut off point π
Good luck! I just finished my last long run yesterday. It was a 34k trail and very tiring but very beautiful as well. It had around 1500ft of elevation and was very technical so took us over 4 hrs to finish. Easier runs from here on in.
Not what you're looking for?
