Thumbs up Any runners on here??

Where are you?

I'm in Toronto and really looking forward to the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront.

I love going on runs round the city- it's funny to say but I never felt safe running in the Uk. I was always primed to expect a brick hitting the back of my head.

I can't imagine running is particularly pleasurable in Toronto. I was there for a conference a few weeks back, and as part of that they'd organised a 5 km "fun run". Even at 7 am it was unpleasantly hot and sticky.

Incidentally, my idea of "fun" isn't 12-and-a-half laps round the varsity stadium running track.

21:05 since you ask.

Ahhh the old fun run. An oxymoron if ever there was one.

Yes it can be a bit humid- unfortunately I don't think my work would understand if I moved to California to train.

21:05- not bad. But having seen the guy who ran the 30 Km in 1:39 last weekend I'm tough to impress.

Sorry, no runners. Just us lazy buggers in front of our computers all day and night.

A mate of mine is coming up to run in the Toronto Marathon. Maybe that's also the "Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront".
