Good times.

When our pal John Sharkman decided at the last minute to join us in running Grandma's Marathon in June -- and live tweet the whole thing -- it gave birth to a beautiful concept known on Twitter as #sharktrek. It was, as always, Classic Sharkman.

As such, we are now preparing for the marathon that the two of us actually planned to run together -- Toronto, on Sunday. In a development that surprises nobody, Sharkman is already laying the groundwork for hero status by claiming that he is in even worse shape for this one than the last one.

Assuming, though, that we can drag him oootside, through the city centre and other such things, we have to imagine you will want to pay attention to Twitter on Sunday morning for the #SharkTrek2 hashtag.

Whatever else happens in the next few days is all speculation at this point.
