Thanks Roly but I will list my summer schedule (tentative) in a moment. Nice work-out on the TM, btw. Good pace, nice mileage. You must have burned a patch out of the tapis.

No outdoors today, no way. Easy TM day at the YMCA. 45 minutes, starting at 8.0 mph for the first 10 minutes, 8.3 for the next 10m, 8.6 for the next ten and finished up with 8.8 mph. Heart rate finally reached 160 bpm's which was as fast as I wanted it to get, since it was my easy day off before getting back to business tomorrow with Phoenix.

My anticipated race schedule (provided I remain injury free) is:

Jan. 28 - Ottawa hypothermic (Half)
Feb. 11- Ile Bizard (10K)
March - Lasalle (10K)
April - 1st- Westford, VT. (10K)
17 - Boston
May 16 - St. Therese 10K
27 - Ottawa (Half)
June 2 Pierrefonds (10K)
24 Montpelier, Vt. (10 miler)
July 4 South Hero, VT. (10K)
9 Utica Boilermaker (Half)
16 Stowe, Vt. (8 miler)
August DDO (?)
19 Great Raison River Run (Williamstown)
Sept. Run for the Toad
Vaudreuil (15K)
Toronto Waterfront Marathon OR
Oct. Hudson Mohawk Marathon (Albany) OR
Ottawa Fall Colours Marathon (undecided on the Fall Marathon)
Cross des Couleurs (12K)
Park Lafontaine (10K)
WHEW! There it is. Ambitious, but racing is fun, especially 10K's. Anyone want to join in with me on any or all of these races? Comments?

Looks like the Montreal group is hibernating.

Truxx, Gro, this week-end Mont-St Bruno I am not avaiable on Saturday

Merc, I may join inthe Run for the Toad (25k trail race)
and I still havn't decided on any races this year, the one for sure is

Montreal Hypothermic race Feb 17
Whiteface uphill race June 3
Maybe a late fall marathon if training goes well.
one trail race late summer early fall

ran 10 k this morning.

That sucks, I'm sure you'll be on track soon enough. So when is the big day that you aiming to break the 2;00 hour barrier.

RG, were at about the same weekly milage I'm running around 30-35 miles a week. this week I'm scheduled for 34-35 miles.

Gro/truxx this week-end is filling up fast next week I have more time plus it looks cold for this week-end.

Merc, I suffer a bit of asthma in the cold as well, I start weezing alot. So 5.5. miles in the warmth of my basement this morning, yesterday I was sliding around in the snow near home.

Well I think I found a race I would like to try I'll start the training after the Montreal; Hypothermic Half and see how it goes. I'll keep it quiet for now and see how the training goes

Gro You wouldn't approve. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

It's not really a surprise, just don't want make a fool of myself again until I'm sure I can handle the milage and elevation. meaning I should get my ass out on the mountain soon. When do you think we could start running the Rocky trail at Mount St. Hilaire?

Df7 how you feeling, have you gotten rid of tha bug. Are you running this week-end

RG find the treadmill behind the cutest girl running if gro hasn't already !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
