Alright... I haven't received any suggestions for new running routes, so I will suggest that the members of the Montreal Runners Forum (and all other Cool Runners) meet at the monument on Parc Ave. (between Pine Ave. and Mt-Royal Ave.) this Sunday, December 19th, at 11:00 AM.

We can either do the Cross run again (with or without assorted additional alternatives), or we can do the Standard Life 10 K course, and literally run around the mountain:
=> Parc to Pine
=> Up Pine to Cedar
=> Cedar onto Côtes-des-Neiges
=> Côtes-des-Neiges to Côte-Sainte-Catherine
=> Côte-Sainte-Catherine all the way back to Parc.

Any takers? Come on, you know you want to run with other folks if you're going to be outside... Aside from Grommit, who has really done all of their mileage this week? Alright then, let's get together and at least put in a 10 K.

And for those worried about speed, I'm still recovering from a fractured foot, so I'm not moving all that fast.

Let me know.

Take care.

Hello all,

Not sure what my schedule is on Sunday (In-laws leaving town), If I can get them out of the house in time, I will make out to the statue, otherwise, I will try for the next one.

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...

Ohh this thread is busy Back from a three days getaway at the cottage...to ski. Uh I mean STUDY. It was awesome. 3 skiing days back to back. and some studying.
AND, I did manage to go on a run. 2.5 miles run on snowy road with NO CARS. Fresh air. Saw some deers. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I'm in the best shape of my life. To go on a run after two big skiing days is so great. My leg feels a bit tired today though, I will give them a break TOMORROW. Today I want to go on a short 3 miles run. I want to run around the city. I miss the city. I can't decide if I prefer to run in the city or in the country. The country is more beautiful, calm, refreshing and WHITE...the city is more energizing, alive and there is more things to look at.

kneejerk: Heheh..well I HAVE to run in the morning since I have the usual 'university life' schedule which requieres to be at school at around 9h AM for classes...then team projects that MIGHT finish early around 6hPM...or MIGHT continue up into the night...and if it does finish early then hey that's a reason to celebrate at happy hours parties right? hehe so I alway sget home LATE. I could not turn down any fun gettogether to go on a 'run'. I'm too weak for that. And I'm a morning person. At night, I turn into one big slob. I would be VERY curious to know on which street to you go down to Mont-royal and then up ?

I wonder why we can't see the previous postw when we post. It is annoying. I don't remember who said what. Hello to you Ottawa marathon runner Montreal has definitely its share of HIGH LEVEL runners.
I like following a schedule too. I'm usually very anal about following training schedules even though I'm not training for anything. RIght now I'm following my 'body signals' since I'm recovering for a harmstring injury.

You all look like you are going to have a great run together !
I have an exam on December 19th. I will be looking out the window if you run on Cote Sainte-Catherine. (I'm at HEC).

I use Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com/) to browse the Internet. One of the many benefits of using it is a plug-in that you can add to Firefox called Spellbound (http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/). All I have to do after I have finished typing is right-click where I wrote and choose "Check Spelling" from the list of options. A window pops up and I can correct any mistakes right in that window. The best part is that they have language packs you can download for many other languages because it isn't an English only spell-checker. Nice, huh?

I hope this helps. It sure makes things easier on me!

It's like Internet Explorer, based on Netscape, and is better than both.
