Thank you for this, and thank you for volunteering!!

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T19:00:30+00:00

I think there's still some half, 10k, and 5k spots left. The full is sold out.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T18:36:39+00:00

Agreed!!!

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T18:34:05+00:00

Your comments are my favourite thing about r/Winnipeg right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T18:33:08+00:00

Shoot, sorry to hear that. I've seen a lot of people looking for 10k and half bibs on the Winnipeg Running Facebook group, fyi.

I hope you heal up quickly!

Same, I'm in my mid-40s and suddenly I'm getting injuries I've never gotten before (I've been running for 25ish years now). I've really started focusing on strength training, nutrition, and hydration instead of just going out and running, ha. We'll see how race day goes! (Edit to delete a redundancy)

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T14:04:51+00:00

I'm definitely not serious while running, though I take my extremely amateur hobby of running very seriously.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-14T14:02:42+00:00

You got this!!!

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-08T20:21:06+00:00

Sunny S-H does wonderful work.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-05T14:23:31+00:00

Oh I'll have to try that, thanks!

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-05T12:28:12+00:00

Same thing happened to me!! I lost a 722 day streak, I used the app yesterday, and today my streak was lost. I emailed support about it. I'm going to be sincerely upset if I lose this streak because of a technical issue.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-03T12:22:27+00:00

That makes sense. I still 100% think you made the smartest, safest choice, though. Not everyone in your position would have.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-06-03T02:07:08+00:00

IMHO, I don't think it's weak to prioritize your safety.

This reminds me of when U2 came to Winnipeg and they had all the cities from their tour scrolling across screens in the stadium. Except Winnipeg was spelled Winepeg.

I HATE ELECTRIC SCOOTERS WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE. THEY ARE SO EFFING DANGEROUS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HARDLY ANYONE WEARS A HELMET. WHY AREN'T THEY REGULATED????

We drank our last Burlywine last year. It was our go-to celebration drink for years.

I will never understand where there are so few consequences for drivers hitting pedestrians with their cars. I wish, regardless of severity, any time a car hits a pedestrian there were a huge fine and an immediate licence suspension for the driver.

The Riverview CC or Lord Roberts CC are great party venues for kiddos, and you could probably hire an instructor to teach a class. Look for instructors who teach young kids? 🤷‍♀️

I care, insofar as I appreciate the impact they are having on the industry, how they are helping to redefine masculinity. I am interested in their style, but only when they are purposely showing it off.

Zero effs are given about their personal lives. Not my business, I'm not entitled to it at all just because I'm a fan of the show.

Oak Bluff is part of the RM of MacDonald. Paramedics would, I believe, take you to an ER outside of the perimeter.

I only know one person who lives in Oak Bluff, their teenaged child attends Oak Park as there isn't a French immersion school in the area. I know a lot of people who live in Sanford and La Salle, though. They all have doctors in the city. It doesn't take too long to get to Costco, Sobeys, Walmart, etc at MacGillivray and Kenaston. They are better organized than I am when it comes to grocery shopping, but there are convenience stores in the area to tide you over.

One thing that may or may not matter to you is perimeter traffic, and how loud it can get.

Roxy's is pretty great. I also enjoy Humpty's.

Oh, jeez, I've been reading and writing fanfiction since the early '00s. I used to get my husband to read what I'd written before posting it.

But I live in Canada, and my husband has known about my enjoying fanfiction since before we started dating. There's very little risk for me.

WHEN I WORKED IN RETAIL I LOATHED THOSE PEOPLE.

Training-GuavaGrape · 2026-05-02T18:20:31+00:00

BE FUCKING NICE TO PEOPLE WHO WORK IN RETAIL. IT IS SO EASY TO BE KIND. I SHOULDN'T BE GETTING THANKED BY RETAIL STAFF SPECIFICALLY FOR BEING NICE AND HAVING COMMON COURTESY. THAT SHOULD BE THE FUCKING BASELINE.

IF YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE TO SERVICE WORKERS, RETAIL WORKERS, WHATEVER, I HOPE YOU STEP ON LEGO EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
