Good luck with the marathon. ..... unfortunately our group has pulled the plug on the entertainment due to the weather forecast (wimps!:p)

I was surprised really, as we annually sing outdoors in December at the Zoo-lites, unless it's below -14! :blink:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

That's a shame! In the end, the weather wasn't too bad (mostly dry anyway!) and there was a little bit of entertainment along the way. What support there was was enthusiastic and appreciated. :thumbup:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

I assume you completed it, so a big congratulations to you. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Thank you very much Steve!

I did complete it (the Half, not the full marathon) and significantly faster than I thought I would. So I'm pleased and will be having little glass of something red tonight to celebrate! :thumbsup:

And here's to the better weather coming our way too. :drinkwine:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

It's pretty nice outdoing what you expect. Nice work:)

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Well done, and congratulations .... I feel rather ashamed of our group for pulling out! :o (but I did get to sleep in til 9 this morning!:thumbup:)

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Well done Mrs DV :thumbup:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

WOW GOOD GOING FOR THE MARATHON FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the words of Ali G "RESPEC!"

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Thank you guys for all your kind words (you're not a bad bunch really ;))

Alberta_Rose, the sleeping in until 9am does sound very good - my kids are not in school tomorrow so I'm planning something similar in the morning !:thumbup:

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

As a very, very, very proud Mr. DV, I would just like to say that this was MrsDV's first ever half-marathon, and she finished in the top 20 (out of many hundreds) for her age-group.

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Mrs DV, Yay, way to go an excellent result for a first half!:thumbsup:
Upward and onward now, what's the next challenge, after a suitable rest of course?:D
How do the legs feel today?

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Thank you!

Next challenge? Maybe I will go for the hypothermic half in Feb ;) I'm sure this won't be my last half anyway (maybe aim for one in the fall?)

The legs are a bit tired today but I've just managed an hour circuit training so not too bad!

Looking forward to a relatively relaxed week (including some nice hot yoga) :)

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Well done Mrs DV1 Immensely impressed.

I am showing my age- bluged a disc end feb and then old lady fell and grabbed me and ripped some back muscles. 3 months in and am beginning to get back to normal and am hoping by Sept I will be better than before, in order to commence ski training!

Well done again.

PS went to bodyworld with son. it was good and recommend it

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

Thanks Gryph!

Hope you are back to normal for the ski season (that's the most important thing!)

I had heard good things about Body World, had thought we might get this weekend but time was not on our side - maybe next week!

Re: Calgary Marathon Anyone?
 

That'll be the reason I didn't see you in Varsity! I did look though...

It was a cold day, but dry at least. I finished the full marathon in 3hrs 28min, not bad for my first attempt at that distance. I beat my personal target of 3hr 30min.

Felt fine Sunday, sore Monday, legs didn't work at all Tuesday, Wednesay less pain, Thursday better, ready to run again Friday.
