      I grew up in Lachine, and have run along the canal numerous times when back to visit family. It's a very nice run, and so would be Mount Royal. Have fun!

      Apparently it's half, full and tri medals only. I still have a few of those I would part with (especially some of the half medals).

      I have a bunch of halfs for sure, and the Goodlife fulls are not hangable being so large (I have four in a drawer). I could say goodbye to one or more of those!

      James, I culd not have asked for a better person to run beside me here in Vancouver. You were an amazing inspiration and support, and without you I would not have made my goal! Thank you so much for running with me and pushing me through when I just wanted to slow down and take it easy. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

      I found them at Sporting Life so problem solved, crisis averted. Those MEC ones are Coolmesh II - I would settle for those, but I've run every single kilometre since 2008 in the straight up Wrightsock Running.
