Hi Everyone! For races this past weekend we had Carol McFarlane who did the Barrelman Half Ironman and crushed it as a “training through” for NYC effort! Way to go. I think everyone else is training hard and there were some solid long runs completed over the weekend. Excellent job everyone! For people training […]
Hey Gang! So many races this past weekend! Exciting stuff from our crew. Both Pearce and Andrew H ran the TrackSmith 5000 on Saturday in the fastest heat of the night! Both PB’s and both have more to come. As Pearce noted, racing is a skill, and it doesn’t just correlate automatically with workouts. […]
Hey Gang! Happy September and Back-to-School and X-Country! Yes, that’sall the same season and will represent those things for me forever whether Iparticipate in them or not.

Hi Everyone! First up, huge congrats to all those who raced this weekend! In the Achilles 5K we had Aryn making her comeback in fine form! And in the Toronto Women’s 5K we had Ingrid who really went for it, and Michelle (who hasn’t been out running with our group but is with us […]
Hi Gang! There were no races this past weekend. Everyone I can see is just putting their heads down and training hard. Way to go – this is what we love to do! I told a few of you this story the other day. I went to the dentist, and as usual, admitted […]

Hi Everyone! First up, huge congrats to those who ran the TrackSmith 5K on Thursday eve – amidst a huge thunderstorm! We had Karen, Brianna, Jordan (PB!) and Kai Tai. It’s not easy doing something new and way out of your comfort zone – an evening track race – and this crew all gulped, […]
Hi Gang! Happy August! I know we’ve had some hot days, but try to savour being able to step out of your house without having the additional barrier of overcoming the cold. Seriously, that occurred to me the other day. You know when you have to psych yourself up for a run, not for […]
Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all having a great week. First up, huge congrats to our triathletes who competed in the Toronto Triathlon Festival on Sunday! Tanis and Carolyn both came 2nd in their age groups and qualified to go to World’s in Spain! (TBD if they go, but so cool to qualify). Shauna Carpenter […]
