..... I'll resist Molasses's reference to wot goes on in his addled brain.... it's worth noting though he's down to 160lbs and looking very trim these days... and not having trouble keeping up at all ... and looking very sub4 WooHoo..... and he promises not to get hurt....  Yep, a beautiful weekend that was.... just a couple of days too short! Fairly trashed my lower limbs  ..... skiing with jr. on saturday (thinks he's jean-claude-friggin killy!).... and then sunday am.... home to the top of the hill, one hors piste loop, down to the monument (the steep/short way), back up (the long way), 5 more loops and then home..... 4:15ish. No real aches or pains to report.... but glad I don't run mondays... just walkin the puppy! Good to see steph/ninj/molasses.... where were the rest of you hiding? G sal.... so what's the training-free race this year?

Hey ! not hiding...just confusing the heck out of the neighbours as I keep running by for the umpteenth time...one of these days they'll call the cops who will mosey on over and ask me if I'm lost I envy the hill exploits but trying to keep most of my running on flat..  Roly - I'll probably finish dead last, but if it means no twice a week fizzio sessions for the next 3 months, so be it. And the week has begun... 'fly

Hey Df as long as you get to do what you love. Then the hell with what everyone elses ideas of what running is about. Enjoy your runs, you will get stonger slowly. Roly [This message has been edited by rolyone (edited Mar-13-2007).]

....isn't it time we had a new page/title?..... must be roly's turn!should be on my way to the gym at the moment but as I just got a more interesting offer which involves dinner..... I will rationalize this wimpitude by the fact that my quads are still complaining from the weekend and I'll get up even earlier tomorrow and try a little tempo thing before I walk the dog .... works for me!

I'm still alive Just been a little busy. Why can't all my runs be like the last two night. Just felt so energizing and pain free. My last two runs were about 5 miles each the Wednesday run averages a 7.39 min/mile pace. and last night average pace was 7.47 min/mile. Funny because Tuesday night I could hardly manage a 9:00 min/mile and quit after runnung 3 miles. Hopefully Saturdays Long run in the snow at Mount Royal will as charged up.

It's been a long and arduous training week and with the weather improving as of late, I was looking forward to a "easy" long run under ideal conditions. From the forecast this morning, it looks like there's no such luck for me.Shin splint continues to be a source of aggravation on my part. I've accepted that this injury will cost me dearly in the race. My goal is to minimise its effects through stretching, strengthening and paying more attention to my running technique. Apparently, I've in light of all the running, my technique has become sloppy. On top of that, the dvd I ordered from McMilan Running, never arrived so they'll have to resend another to me. Grr... How is the 1/2 marathon training coming along guys? TB

TB – training ? more like surviving…kiddin’, …I like to think I’m making some progress. Hey, its my first April half, lets hope its not my last.  The shin splint, s*cks big time. I have a hard time thinking that your running has gotten sloppy cause you’re so disciplined… I’m not happy about the forecast either Mercury – how was the tournament ? Sally – take it easy. Chops ?! You’re alive ! Just in time to go to Lasalle next weekend.

TB. You need a tape job for the shins. I used to do it but I'm out of practise. It will make a difference. Any competent physio should be "capable." Called herring-bone with lock strips!Easygo. I live in Lachine. Bring your shovel over. I'll prepare the hot choclate as you dig. Df7. The girls got thumped, yesterday. Today, the boys won easily. We just threw the girls team together a week ago, so they can use a lot of practice, which they will be getting. Hope for them to break-even next time. Gro. The voice reappeared today, unexpectedly at 12:40 pm as I was coming out of the Montreal General. Weird! At least I won't have to use my sign language.
