I heard about that photo event. I think there were othe shots somewhere else in town.

Less than 4 weeks to go before my next marathon and so far, 12km done this week. Those weeks of inactivity show! ****! Good luck to DDO runners, I should be with you guys! Grrrrr!

But I know that I can make my fall marathon, but I doubt that I'll make a PB. One thing for sure, I'm looking forward to it.

Any, I've been looking at that photo for a half hour and still can't find Waldo?<HR>


I actually did find Waldo... One magazine took a picture from above the 3rd site (stairs of Place des Arts) and they did a Where's Waldo page... the only problem is... I am naked, on my back, a couple of people away from Waldo... So at least I have a proof that I was there, but no one else can because you canno't really tell wich one I am!

The photo shoot was done on may 26, 2001. 3 pictures came out of the shoot. One on Ste-Catherine (the one above), one on Jeanne-Mance, next to the Musée d'art contemporain, and the third one was on the stairs of La Place des Arts (that's the one that we saw the most afterward). We had to get there at 5 in the morning, wait for instructions and then strip naked... it was so great!!!! And the awkward feeling of being naked was not that bad because we were 2250 people. We actually left our clothing on the Stairs of La place des arts for the first two shots... walking in between the two sites (not far away) and then we had to take our clothing and move it for the third shot. After that shot, we lost our clothing, we misjudged where we had put it... so while everyone was fully dressed, we were still looking for ours... it was not for long... but it sure felt like an eternity (while everyone is naked it's fine, but being the only one... it's not).

The experience was absolutely amazing and I would do it again with no hesitation...

The photograph was absolutely amazed to see how many people turned up. Everytime he did one of his pictures in the US, he would get arrested... here, the police was blocking the road to let him do is job... he just could not believe it!


You can see some of is other pictures here:

I don't want to be the only one there this evening becase I have to drive through traffic to get there.. I guess next Thursday the tradition will continue.

How was the race last night TurtleBoy, and KJ?

Hi Truxx and all - i wasn't racing but was there

Went there with TB and another runner. Saw other members from the MAA along with DL ...Knee with her friend Norm and his little boy. Mercury as well as other folks I've gotten to know ...nice turnout, great weather. Saw the first runner come in and he was alone at 14 and change... amazing...there was the corn afterwards...

I'll let the racers give the nuts and bolts of the racing...

Bonne journée....`fly

OMG...

Nice race, TB... how did it feel? How did it taste?

was it peppered corn they were serving or was it a pepper-free evening?

BTW: Marché Adonis (Sauvé and L'Acadie): 16.99$/kilo for FILET MIGNON. Regular price. Guess what I'm having for lunch today?

Big news...

1) I ran tonight... 30 minutes... it was so hard.... but felt so great

2) I transfered to the 5k for Montreal... 10k would have been too much... sorry SS but TB was right... the 5k is much better for me right now...

3) I am going to be working downtown as of September 4th.

Congrats.
Good decision.
YIKES! Watch out, there is food EVERYWHERE!!!! I'm near Jean-Talon now, just far enough from the market that I don't go (that and I know I won't be able to refrain so I avoid it) so I end up bringing my lunches which works out fine except that I'm ready to kill flesh for food on my way home after work... Yep, it's ALL about the food... ha.

Speaking of the Festival de la Santé, I'm thinking of doing the 40k leisure cycle... Started cycling this month...

Marché Adonis...luv it there...hum hum hum...

Short, slow, hooomid waddle on the hill after work yesterday. Thought I`d be the only one up there but no..the crazy rain shower didn`t keep everyone away. Made a mess of the road in some places though.

SOOOO glad its Friday, have a good weekend everyone...

Knee - speaking of posting ?

Wow!!! Stellar performances in DDO Wednesday! Congratulations, you guys rock!

But it breaks my heart to realize that I lost the great shape I had this spring because of that /?/$/%$ pinching nerve problem.
