Grommit: Roly gave me four (4) possible days for our outing in the snow (December 27 to 30) which are OK for me. How about you, sir ?

Roly: How about Stephane ?

Anyone else: How about YOU ?

Dear Dr.

I need your help..... I ate at a chinese restaurant for lunch yesterday and the "Fortune Cookie" stated that.... "it is better to have a hen today than an egg tomorrow".... what does this mean ? It's been bugging me ever since... am I really that dense to miss some basic logic.... ?

the experiment is perplexed....

Now that doesn't sound like advise Grommit would take. Vermont 100 miler in 2007 huh???

When is Shivering Sally coming back.

looks like a treadmill day out there to me..... missed my scheduled run last night due to a work event......... got to eat at L'epicier..... WOW .... so it's off to the gym at lunchtime for me.... are we running on the mountain on Sunday? 9am? ...... a show hands?

Mars: thanks for your clarity..... not sure what I'll do with it but thanks all the same.... BTW you're missing a 30cm snowday..... youluckysonofabartender...... but then again you'll be missing the skiing too which aint so hot

What's happening? Everybody is bailing on the party!?? (which is ~36 hours away) At this point there are 2 or 3 cool runners expected?!!?!?! (including myself!)

30 cm of snow??? Bum-mer... NOT!!!

I'm still enjoying running in shorts out here (long-sleeve shirt + light gloves, though), even if it is getting chilly at times when the sun is down.

In terms of skiing, while I'm not much of a skier, when I feel an uncontrollable urge to do so (once a year), I'm 45 minutes from a pretty good ski mountain (12,000 ft) right outside LV, and I'm 3 hours away from the famed ski hills of Utah.

BTW, I tried the running track at the new Health Club that opened right near my home. Wow... Just beautiful. I'd never been much of a fan of indoor running tracks in the past (MTL downtown YMCA... 13 laps to the mile??? someone just shoot me...). But this one is spectacular. Stunning views of the city through windows surrounding the outside of the track, great views of... hmmm... other club members working out over 2 floors... and best of all, 5.5 laps to the mile. In fact, it is almost exactly 300 m around. Great interval training on the run, which was part 2 of my bike-run brick.

While you guys are fighting the snow on Sunday morning on Mt-Royal, I'll be off for a trail run with a friend. Since we'll be meeting around 11 AM, it'll be shorts & t-shirt...

Take care all.

Grommit: I'll be there. Depending on the turnout, is 8:30am acceptable?
