This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Together with the Ottawa National Capital Marathon and the Toronto GoodLife Fitness Marathon, it's one of the biggest race events in Canada and an official qualifier for Boston.
I'll be running the full marathon, which starts at 7:30am, together with over 2500 others. I'm also turning it into a bit of a personal online event, using an app called SportsTracker on my phone. Using the phone's GPS, the app will show my position on the map through the run, and I even have the ability to send pictures and video from the course, although I doubt that I'll be doing that.
Once the run starts, you'll be able to find my live stream on top of the list of my tracked runs on this page.

Pardon the music, but this video is pretty hot content from the Motor City. Daytime jump off the RenCen in downtown Detroit. Enjoy.
Ever since I can remember, Bagel Wednesday mornings have come with containers of cream cheese, plus a tray of cheddar-type cheese. However, on said tray, there is also one ball of cheese that looks like cream cheese, but no one knows for sure. (See attached.)
And often as I leave in the evening and pass the detritus of said bagel breakfast on the trays, there sits that lonely cheese ball, untouched. The cheese ball stands alone.
This morning I asked around, and as I realized no one actually knew, I booked some Admin time in ChangePoint (Aaron, it's notated with "cheese research" FYI) to solve the mystery.
Using strict scientific methodology, ie a cream cheese control sample, I did a side by side test (Again see attached) and can conclusively state: it's goat cheese, or "chevre" as it's called by people who live in France or The Beaches.
Breath easy. Happy Wednesday!
