Hello everybody,

I just drop in to excuse for not being very active these days. I had a terrible rush at work. Moreover its the season where the type of positions I am looking for in Canada are posted ...

Now it's all over. My vacation started yesterday evening. And in 45 minutes the train will leave that will bring us to a city where TB would like to run a marathon. I will send a travel report after my return. Take care

Ralf

Follow your nose

Grommit, good to have ya back, we need to talk....i've seemed to have lost my running mojo. ......

RalfM:  Why do you tease me so?   My travels will bring me there one day  Good to hear from you.

As for myself, early start this morning 7:30am. Roly, I may end up seeing you on Olmstead My run bring me to Lafontaine Park, Jeanne Mance park and Olmstead so I'll be the goofy asian kid wearing yellow running around with the orange shades.

Light rain today with a mild 4 degrees. All I can say is that following the run, I'll smell  fragrant. 

Have a good one,

TB

Lookin' forward to it Scott. BTW, Monday night is Ile Bizard, Wednesday is Lachine (Jetty). Sounds like you all had fun this morning. I wanted to join you all but had to meet a contractor up in Saint Lin at 10 !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/redface.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/redface.gif|border=0!oam.

Found a trail today that I didn't know existed! Startd out at my place in Lachine and ran along the south side of the canal but diverted off at Clement St. in Lasalle, turning left on Des Oblats St. alongside the Mercier Bridge on ramp. Continued to the end of the street & turning left on Wanklyn going past Seagrams all on a grassy shoulder at the edge of some railway tracks. The tracks abruptly come to an end after crossing Neuman and there is the cutiest stone/grass train where tracks obviously used to serve Seagrams & Labatts. Very green, no cars or people in a very wide space between back fences on one side and Labatts & others on the other. Way cool!

As I only wanted to run about 75 minutes, I turned off at Dollard and headed to the bike path at 4 Towers (the beginning of the Aquaduct on the river, Lasalle Blvd.) and back to Lachine passing under the Mercier and back to the sixth ave. crossing in Lachine. I got the distinct impression that had I not turned  off, the trail would have gone as far as Angrignon Park / Metro but I could be wrong about how far. I am sure they go at least as far as the Lasalle Legion on Shevshenko and after that, who knows. It was fab Gro!! You'da loved it. It was starting to get too dark or I might have explored further in spite of doing the achy-breaky. Anyone have any other out-of-the-way places like that, that are mostly unknown?

Rolyone: 9:00am on Saturday is going to work for me, as of now.. I'll keep posted.
Have a Good Week Everyone!!
Truxx

I'm going to look pretty Keen in these trail shoes.

Went on Lachine canal on Sunday. All the drippings made Chops weak (& dry). Had to fight my way back

Still working on it... Honest. Have been working like a hound since I got back, and now the in-laws are in town! I will have something for you to read... I promise. It took until Thursday to walk up & down stairs without wimpering. Even played hockey on Friday night. Wanted to run this weekend, but the in-laws...

cheers all.

Thanks again Mars.
