Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
Back from french Loire countryside. Got sick like a miserable dog the moment I landed. Euro winter is freakin cold when its ******* rain. Ate like a pig, the real way (rillettes du Mans, foie gras, boudin, saucissons). Even had a rare nicotine urge. Saw lot of action (Ekiden, Corrida) but did zippo. Over 2 weeks without running makes Chops a bad runner. Local scene is pretty fast (out of 640 10k runners, over 50% under 45:00). What else ?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
Hi boys. Anyone want to run with Phoenix demain matin? Forget the canal.....boooooring......It will actually be my first long run with them EVER, even when they were Boreal! I always did my long runs in the lower Laurentians.

Actually, just got back from St. Lin. Did two nice runs in the last two days there. Today, 8 miles @ 165 bpm with 8 hills of 45 secs.-1 min.each along the way. Two days before, I ran 10 miles in 75 minutes, from my house on the border of St. Lin / St. Sophie to & through the village of New Glasgow and back. Nice rolling hills with loads of farms along the way......I love it. It gave me a chance to figure out how to work my Garmin that I bought in NYC.

Truxx. My knees are shaking. Three days in a row. How will I ever keep up with you, again? Hope you choose Ile Bizard Roly. Will be great to run with you again. How 'bout Gro? Wanna come?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
Ile Blizard it is then! That will be fun.. I ran with Phoenix my first time on a Saturday, when they decided to run Mt. St. Bruno.. That was a real work out with quite a few hills.. I will check the site to find out how to get there tomorrow, but that sounds like a great plan.

I even ran once again this evening, and took off another 8 seconds from my normal loop.. I am at 30:07, and I am starting to believe I might make it under 30 sooner than I planned!.. These last few seconds are the tough ones.. Having to push yourself along the dark streches when noone is around, and you start to fade.. Just keep on pushing!!

Truxx

Welcome back Mr.Lambchops!! You Jet-setter! You will be back in shape in no time.. I know you!

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
I just got home awhile ago from a brutal run with the Phoenix group.. They said 19.5k and I was just behind Dennis who said he ran it at a 4.50/k pace.. I was tired before the half way mark, and thanks to Mercury1 for help on that last stretch with the big hill.. Man, I was tired! I will be sore from this, but I guess you need to do a long run every now and then... Next one will feel easier!
Thanks to the Phoenix group.. I am having fun learning new places, and meeting some great runners!
Rolyone.. sorry we missed you, but I know what you mean aboout driving to train..

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
..... yep we're back. 2007 is off to a slow start.... ie. I haven't run yet this year! I caught up on lots of sleep +/- 10 per night!, skied for about 6 hours none stop on tuesday, walked gomez often, read about running and generally took it very easy this past week. So I'm looking forward to stretching my legs a little..... However, I have a little ankle ache happening in the same spot as last years sprain in sympathy with dr?.... it aches when I wake up in the morning and is stiff until I've walked about a bit... I ran up and down the drive to the chalet this morning with gomez 50yds and it felt fine.... but after 3 hrs of inactivity, driving home tonight it ached again... very strange..... anyhoo... I'll be at the monument @ 9 via the path next to the cemetery@ 8:30.... see you then!

.... killington had some MAN made snow on a thin base until last wednesday... the temps went up and it started raining..... it's like a ghost town down there, everyone has one has cancelled or gone home and the hills are bare... never mind.... we'll be able to do indoor skiing soon I guess WTF..... I can also report that the size of vehicle in Vermont is about the same as up here, although the outta-state SUV's are mostly huge.... Ho Humm..... and finding diesel is a challenge..... Bravo Bush/Cheney!! that's my rant for the moment.... BTW has anybody rented "An Inconvenient Truth" yet?..... my local video store's copies we're all out last night....

where's my tights?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
?I like the way you mooovvee..? didn?t matter, kick *** tunes, mellow tunes, dance tunes, legs wouldn?t do what I had on my schedule.. which was 10k ?heart rate remained a little high, out of the range suggested. My last run was Thursday night, so I find it a bit odd that I didn?t have a little more energy. I have been busy the last couple of days, okay, okay, no excuses.

Came home after 8k and did some core, stretched.

The weather is great, scary but great. Overdressed,kept taking my gloves off and putting them back on. Same with the jacket, zip and unzip?

Met the greatest number of runners ever for this area?guess we are taking advantage of the clean streets and sunshine.

Enjoy the remainder of the weekend, get out if you can, rain on the program tomorrow.

Truxx, how you feeling today after that long run ?

Gro ? ankle okay after your mountain run ?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners
Against my better judgement I continued on for a second loop of the cross today, and ran a small portion in the trails. I let Stephane run in the trails with Gro, must admit I was pooped out today. Nap time.
That would put me at around 22.5 miles in the last three days. Opps about 40-50% increase in this weeks milage from the week before. Tired, dehydrated and the hips are a bit sore. At least I can rest tomorrow guilt free.
Also with my discussion with Stephane I need to start drinking water, I rarely drink the stuff (See Below)

W.C. Fields said he wouldn''t drink water because fish fornicate in it.
