Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Thank you for the chuckle Roly, ich bin mude this morning, go**amit ...and people are cranky around me and I'm ****** at a bus driver, he may or may not have given to the lost/found a bus pass in a leather folder I found on a seat on Tuesday.

I'm ****** at myself for not hanging on to it because I thought I knew who had dropped it - sure enough this older chap who works around my area asked the bus driver about it ( a different guy) nada. He's out $75..

thats my rant for the day.

Back to running. Anyone running outdoors in this weather ? I know TB went out with the Tuesday night speedsters.

Yep Gag, during the day, around lunch time, bundled up, it can be done..evening, its another story.

I have a short waddle on schedule, probably do it again on the T/M.

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Oh Gomez, where does he find this stuff?

Sorry I missed the party, last second timetable addition with a client at the Y. Unavoidable but maddening.

Ran along Lac St. Louis yesterday for a 6 mile tempo. Frozen cahones & fingers. Brutal wind! Stay in today. My hands were cold driving the car! A TM hill climb in order for today.

Bad day is not as bad as a bad month... all I have to say is BRAN BUDS. Eat them. That and broccoli.

Dress warmly and stay active.

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Get your a$$ off the couch mister and head out the door for your recovery run. The wind has died down and properly attired it will be great.

This from someone who did a TM run after work

hey, it was still cold and windy. Don't know what the hey this week...low energy

, maybe not enough sleep.

Btw, some article there..gheez..you're a nut.

Ralf - check your box.

DR -

so, have you got fins and gills yet ? how's the ankle.. ?

Mercury - all thawed out ?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Ok I have to comment on the article, I totally disagree with the writer but I'm ultra-conservative and pro-healthy-and-active-lifestyle...

On my way out for a run...

DF: no gills yet, I'm working on it but I have fins (haha the kind you get at a swimming store), goggle eyes, horrible hair, huge shoulders and lots of fun... No better way to start the day than a short run and a 6AM swim practice...

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Oh my gosh, I am actually thinking of running this Sunday morning at 9am on the mountain. Who's up for a slow, and I mean slow, jaunt up the big hill?

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

Happy Birthday TB! Best wishes from Europe.

We had a little storm last night. Already, when I got home yesterday, streets and sidewalks were covered with debris (mostly fallen branches). Otherwise no problem, altough I still have to check my car for tiles from the roofs nearby. Tomorrow I will run in the forest. There I expect some obstacles. Enjoy your weekend

Re: Montreal "cooler in winter" Runners

TB - A very very happy birthday to you!

Here's wishing an incredible day for an incredible guy ...

Ralf - Good to hear that you're still running and that things seem fine ...

Df -

Wow, I ran last night, not for long, but I got out there. Going to run again today! Swam this morning. DR, I was thinking about you - I'd love to see you swim, you'd kick my *** for sure! I'm thinking of doing a master's class at some point too.
