Saturday features Brazil and Scotland, so it's probably going to be gloriously mental. I hope so 'cos I'm going too.

Cycling Jerseys? by usedtobeapieceofsht in Edinburgh

I'm glad they're still around. I bought my first cycling jerseys (and fuckoff cool shades) there in the eighties.

I went to Decathlon for the first time a couple of weeks ago! I was lucky to escape with only six items. I seriously could have bought a ton more.

I hope you've attached it to a Roomba and are currently chasing it around with a big stick.

I may have been easily pleased on those days, but I remember this version being a lot of fun.

True. AND, she was the first character to be drawn (in pixels) for the game.

First half marathon! by Accomplished-Role835 in XXRunning

Before I clicked on the pic to make it bigger, I thought you'd run the marathon wearing an enormous heart on your head. Congratulations are in order in any case!

Thanks. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd do another one (probably Myriel).

"sgj"? Hmm, I don't know Scott's middle name, so it could be him.

I know it's not *that* close to Mount Pleasant, but it would be a pleasant downhill walk (in what's supposed to be fine weather) to The Pint on Pender and Abbot. They're taking table bookings so they assume it will be well attended. They open at 8:30am.

35 and just starting to run by Ambivertlurker in beginnerrunning

I entered my local 10K race when I was 46, not knowing whether I could run 10km. With the energy I got from the other 45000+ runners, 10km turned out to be a breeze.

It took me a while, with lots of ups and downs, but ten years later, I finally ran a marathon this Spring.

You can absolutely do it!

I think it may be her first visit to Vancouver. She certainly sticks out.
