N0 running yesterday but got in 35 km on the spin bike, about an hour.

I may try to get in a run on the mountain today at 3:00pm (Off work this week, Spring Break) Since the kids will be at the movies, If it warms up.

I think those changes are just another race member trying to hype their race to get people to sign up. We will see once the race day is over.

Grommit, Sorry for getting you into this it's now a 24 hour time limit to finish all 6 peaks. 3 peaks in 14 hours. Lord Help me. They would change the rules a few days after we're registered. Oh well lets see how far I can go.

Welcome back Gro. Why am I not surprised that your all gung ho about the new course description.

I guess this will be my punishment for missing Jay.

Got in about 6 miles in the snowy trails near home. Didn't feel like messing with traffic when I have some nice trails five minutes away. I'll be running them again tomorrow and on Saturday afternoon if anyone cares to join me.

BTW good to see Df7 getting in a nice long run.

Go Fly, Go Fly, Go Fly

RUNNINGAG'S ICEPACKS HOTPACKS GIVEWAY!!!

If anyone is interested to get icepacks of all sizes and shapes, very useful for bringing food for a race out of town the day after or to put on an injury, I have about 20 to give away.

I'm in town until Saturday, so maybe at Hurley's Thursday or Friday.

If interested, just let me know here. It could be later in April.

Gag: Count me in for one. I'm downtown all the time. Allow me buy you a drink at Hurley's and we can discuss the race strategy as I head into April: 5 minute km vs 8 minute mile a treatise. As for timing after 7pm is best for me I was thinking that it would come in handy to keep my breakfast cool on race day. Storing food in the washroom sink under buckets of ice isn't ideal

Regards,

TB

COOL!!!

What about tonight at 7:30? I have also 3 coolers to give. My wife was about to get rid of all those icepacks, because it was taking all the place in our freezer. But I knew that you guys would be interested.

Thinking about it, if some of you can't go but are interested to get icepacks, I can give them to one of those who'll be present. Just place your order.

Finally starting to feel optimistic about Boston. Had a good TM workout today which saw me do a 25 minute "tempo" @ 6:20 / mile pace and it felt relatively easy. The last 5 minutes were cranked up to 9.9 mph or 6:10 / mile pace. All the while-and more importantly-was that the heart rate maxed out at 170. My estimated MHR is 185 so that leaves plenty of room for going faster. I am finally feeling some relief.

Still having mucho neuroma & hamstring discomfort but at least it's not slowing me down. Now a marathon is a whole other story, right Gro / Gomez?

Many thanks to DF, RG and Merc for the fun evening. Despite the loud jazz band we were still able to enjoy the conversation. All the best to our goals for the year. It's really nice to kick back and relax every now and then following training. RG, thanks for the ice packs. Let's hope they will only be applied to keep food chilled.

Time to turn in

Had alot of fun tonight, can't recall the last time I laughed so much, it was needed.

Gag - you're always full of surprises, Nicaragua (sp.) last week, Ottawa for a 4th time, and that crazy a$$ french marathon you were telling us about, post the site.

TB-

Mercury - how great to see you, you know I didn't mean it about your training and racing, well, maybe a bit

Here is the site we told you about :
http://www.rtbrelay.com/index.shtml[/URL" target="_blank">

Gro - hope you enjoyed your paaaarty...Mercury is now up to speed about July - thought something about a TENT - I don't think so, I'm getting a tad old for that...

And as you couldn't make it, Merc figures we'll be getting an invite soon for some delicious Thai food...seeing as you like to mess around a kitchen.

Now to figure out what to do with the longer arm..from carrying all that ice

G'night - 'fly

Thanks to DF, Merc and TB for a great evening last night. Sorry for the extra weight DF. And as TB says, let's hope you'll use it only to carry lunch.

If other coolrunners want some, ask TB or Merc. They have more than enough.

Here's the link for my fall "pure fun" marathon:

www.marathondumedoc.com[/URL" target="_blank">

The English link does not work, but you have all info in French. Here's my favorite part:

Le spectacle de départ, les animations dans la course avec plus de 90% coureurs déguisés, animations autour de la course avec les 52 animations, les 22 points de ravitaillement, les 21 points de dégustation, les ravitaillements spéciaux (huîtres, jambon, entrecôtes, fromage, glaces, grenier médocain, etc.), et la présence de centaines d'enfants des écoles déguisés et ravis.

...... 4 sure!

.....one of those weeks where life gets in the way for me = a few extra days without running.... but hey it's the weekend right? and I'll prolly cram most of what I missed in a couple of days... and maybe some skiing too, good forecast at the moment
Sorry I missed last nights fun..... I was doing some fun elsewhere with noodles & chillis
