So I had created a map of road closures for the Toronto Goodlife Half Marathon 2013, but I totally forgot about it!
I got totally screwed (read:I was an idiot and didn't plan ahead) when I ran my first half at the Scotiabank Half Marathon last year and trying to figure out what roads were closed/open near Spadina with 20minutes to go before my race was a complete nightmare. Fortunately my bf is great at keeping calm, while I tend to panic and flail my arms. More on that story another day.
Here's the link - hopefully it serves useful for someone! Also, the list of closures shows up on two pages which is kind of confusing - anyone know how to change it so it shows up on one page?
https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msid=213059616540420689750.0004d6ac07f25db0600dc&msa=0&ll=43.755473,-79.394417&spn=0.129198,0.291481
They have it written out here but looking at the map might be more useful? Anyways I'm planning on exiting an exit or two east of Yonge (Leslie or Bayview, probably Leslie) to try to avoid being late (again). Then we're gonna skitter through some side streets to get me as close as possible. The only bummer about this race is that the start and end are no where near each other so you or someone dropping/waiting for you has to drive/travel so far! That's one reason why I like the SWTM a little better.

3 DEAD, HUNDREDS INJURED IN BOSTON MARATHON EXPLOSIONS
No words come to me. I am filled with anger and shock.
What kind of sick fuck would do this?
I went for my run outside today and my head was a foggy haze. These events were unfolding thousands of kilometers away from me. But it hurt a community that I belong so close to. There was no religion, no politics, no ethics involved. It was just people running a fucking marathon.
Why?
3 dead. Hundred injured. I'm not religious, but I truly pray for Boston. My heart goes out to you.

What a sad sad day for the culinary world.
http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2013/04/01/toronto_soup_master_dies_suddenly.html
When my bf first got take out from RaviSoups, I was blown away at how delicious the soup and veggie wrap was. I've had a few of the other soups and wraps and they all have been yummy.
RIP Ravi, you will be missed, but your legacy will live on.
