First of, congrats to EVERYONE who ran Sunday including the people with the PBs and BQs.  It was a great day and the crowds were supportive.

I don't like to mix politics and running, given that many of my running friends may share different political views than me, but check this one out: candidate for mayor Rob Ford would stop marathons running on city streets.  He thinks we should use parks and admits he didn't even know about the marathon on Sunday.  See the link to article above.  Compare that to the current mayor who ran the 1/2 and declared last week Marathon week in Toronto.

Just something to think about at the ballot box.

Again, congrats to everyone and thanks to our coach, Duff!!!!!

Politics, religion, not to be mixed with good friends BUT

I really believe that Rob Ford will wreak havoc on our wonderful city.
For oh so many reasons and oh ya he is a convicted criminal and there are countless instances of him "forgetting" (lying) about his past.  He is rude and crude and looks like he might have a coronary at any moment.
And seriously he is against exercise in general so of course he is against the marathon

Just sayin
