However, since I lost my bet (hmmm... I won't ask for wet shoes or wet clothes as proof, I'll take your word for it), I will commit to getting the first round of drinks for KJ and VC at our next social get together.

Congrats, VC & KJ for your determination and your courage.

Mars: I just saw your post!
hahah! I thought about that too. We could have faked the whole thing hahahah! But it's not our type. Véro and I are the real thing hehe!

So send that beer over!

Also, I think I would not mind starting at 11h on Sunday. Because I like doing "la grasse matinée" on the weekend.

Great run with Mr. Lambchops this evening. 1 K warm-up, the Westmount YMCA 5 K course (done fast, close to 10 K race pace), and then 1 K cool down that really did not slow down that much.

And I wore shorts!!! A run in Montreal on January 13th in shorts!!! It was so awesome. I was wearing a LIFA top along with my shorts, but I chose a top that was a bit too heavy... should have gone with the mid-weight.

What fabulous weather. Didn't hit a single patch of ice, and the water looked much worse than it was. And it was warm... so warm...

A million thanks to Mike for making it out there on such short notice... it had been too long.

About the Mt-Royal run on Sunday... don't compromise starting time for me. I finish a meeting at 10:30 AM. I really cannot start before 11 AM. So if some of you, like Kneejerk, like to sleep in on Sunday, then I'll be delighted to run with you. For those of you who have family commitments and must be back early, don't hesitate to start at 10 AM. And if 10:30 AM is better for some then 10 AM, let's see if we can't get the rest of the 10 AM group in at 10:30 AM.

Once we have this figured out, we'll be good for the rest of the year.

Take care.

For Sunday, I suggest that if the footing is great on the mountain, we do our usual run to the Cross... while the conditions are still good.

However, if and when the conditions on the trail deteriorate, we can do the Standard Life 10 K course. It's an outstanding course... with the same start and end point... the monument on Parc Ave....

Take care all.

Hi,

I have no run to report, my social life interfered with my run this morning heheh. Nothing can beat the legendery HEC 4 à 7 !! (make that 4h to 2h) hehehe. I will go to FFL this evening after class.

I'm sorry but I can't make it to the Sunday run (yes once again). I'm having family over at my cottage (they live in Ontario) and we are having a LATE birthday party for me. (he is my 'parrain' ?!)

I know for sure I will be staying in Montreal next weekend (as I have a GMAT test to study for)...so let's say that I am positive that next weekend I will be able to make it !

Great! If we start at 11:00, I can sleep a little bit more on sunday morning. So now there is nothing to stop me on saturday night. Nothing. whooooo hooo!
-Sorry about this, I have not been out dancing for years and I will be going on saturday

Véro: have a good weekend and that would be so great if you could come next week.

...So there are 6 of us so far, this sunday (+ Titus :-))

KJ

Great! So it looks like a 11 AM start, at the monument on Parc Ave. The course is to be determined, depending on the trail conditions. But it will either be the climb to the Cross, of the Standard Life 10K.

And JB, you should know, I'm the Sheperd... I never leave anyone behind...

Thank you all for accomodating my schedule!

Take care.

Mars

Hahahahah! Gromit. Thanks so much. I was actually stuck in a procrastinating mode...doing anything and everything but going for my run... Your post was exactly what I needed!

I'm going for my run, right NOW!
