Pictures from the 67th Lake Biwa Mainichi Marathon this past weekend are telling of the elements under which Canadian runner Dylan Wykes took his shots. It was chilly. It was a rainy. A little like home. But Vancouver-based Wykes was not home. (via blogs.theprovince.com)

TORONTO. 23 September. A huge THANKS to everyone who showed up for our Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Press Conference at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel this morning, to meet “The Canadian Contenders” — Reid Coolsaet, Eric Gillis, Dylan Wykes, Rob Watson and Matt Loiselle. This was a “first” for STWM and Canada Running Series, to have a “presser” more than a couple of days in advance of the event. There was a GREAT media turn-out, so I’m sure you’ll be reading about it tomorrow. Canadian Press, The Star, Globe and Mail, National Post were ALL there, as the excitement and buzz builds. And we all enjoyed Reid’s response to a question from CBC TVs Scott Russell. Scott asked Reid about his strategy for October 16th. As he already has the Olympic qualifying standard [with his 2:11:23 run at last year's STWM] and only has to “prove fitness” with an IAAF-qualifier of sub-2:15, will he be running cautiously? Emphatically “no”, said Reid. “I’m coming to run fast and take a real run at Drayton’s record!” (via Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon)
