pompous?

Hi

DF7: No I've never done the race in laval!! (well my running 'carrière' only started last June) but my parents are from laval and I know the area well...so it should be fun. Although I wonder WHERE are we going to run. Laval is one ugly city...there is SOME great area...but mostly it IS a ugly city hehe. I guess we will do meet at the St-Laurent race! let's hope it WON'T be windy and cold.

grommit: hehe..of me skiing ? or of me running on quiet country streets?

Anyone knows if the '10 kilomètres de Lorraine' still exist? My dad did it when I was 10 or so. I would LOVE to do it. I've spend 20 years of my life in this city and I have not been there since. I would love to run around my hometown in a race. but I can't seem to find any info...it used to be in may.

Have a nice evening everyone,

Véronique

Grommit, MLC, Mars,

Great run with you guys. I'm glad you guys didn't hold back. You guys were flying! TB just kept on plodding TB style. I'm glad that everyone had fun.

MLC, Grommit, will you be able to attend the LaSalle 10km next week? On myside, I'm trying to get the three runners that I know of that are interested in running RTB to come out for the event. If all works out, I would like next weekend to also serve as a, "meet and greet" for everyone as they ponder whether to sign up or not. I hope that this will result in our team coalescing into something material and substantial. A nucleus if you will that will allow us to commence planning for the logistical challenges that lie ahead. I'll provide updates as the week progresses. I have one confirmed to run the 10km with me next week. We'll see about the other two.

Mars, Thanks for hanging back and coming back to fetch me, "Sheppard style".

Quebec May 8 = fast, flat, cool.
Montreal cannot compare.

After some of the conditions we've had this weekend, I think our RTB relay team should be the "Slush Runners"...

Great run this morning. TB, Chops, Grommit, TB's friend Tom the Triathlete, and yours truly were all at the starting line. With such a strong group, we headed off toward Parc Lafontaine for 2 loops around the Parc, and back to the statue (8 K). Then, we made our way to the Cross. Grommit and TB went for 2 loops (+13.5 K), Tom and I did one loop (+11.5 K). Chops, under the usual Sunday time constraints, left after a certain distance back on Mt-Royal. Grommit and TB got 21.5 K out of this run, and Tom and I roughly 20 K with some doubling back at different parts of the run.

Grommit... since you normally run over to Parc Ave and run back home, what did you get total for the day? 32 K? 34 K?

As Grommit mentioned, it was great to see the KJ household...

Beautiful day... lots of slush, snow, and puddles on the roads. Soft snow on the mountain... man... like running in sand. Somekind of workout... Once I got home, my lower legs were actually a little sore from the stability work.

Anyways... Many thanks to today's runners. Hope to see even more new people in the future. And good luck to all the Lasalle 10 K runners next week.

Take care, and train safe.

Mars: I confess I drove there & back.... still not quite fully back from Miami.... but I did go up and down about a third of the hill with Chops as we waited for you guys to get back from the park.... Total about+/- 26kms.
Great workout for the ankles/calves... I can feel it too

Oh, I almost forgot: welcome FunRun!

Hi Kneejerk.

Yep, that was me you saw plodding along up the hill. I didn't realise that was you. With Grommit being such a social butterfly who could I have known :P Looking forward LaSalle next weekend so I can formally introduce myself.

Cheers,

TB
