Gomez....Ruff....ruff. (translation: great Utube link. Support Dion?JB. An early "good luck," but you will hear from me again before you go. DF. Cover up if you go out. The wind is a bit on the bitter side. Another couple of days - off needed. Rear ribs very sore. It's KILLING ME. (not the pain.....the not running.....)

JB sorry I can't make it tomorrow. I now know of the aliens that lampchop spoke of earlier this year. Cold has been getting worse. I know I should have called in sick and rested but it's been a very important week at work. Tomorrow is my one day off this week and I'm going to rest.
Havn't run in a week

Hi gang –Mercury, you were not kidding – yikes ! Took munchkin out with me after lunch to do errands and it was cold, the wind crazy. We snuck into a coffee shop to read and have dessert and didn’t want to step back out. When we eventually got home, mama bear (nickname I picked up from a guy who did time in a BC pen) and baby bear got under a blanket someone brought me back from Quito many years ago and napped. Have you had your back looked at since you wiped out ? Back to running. Just got in from a hoof around the hood – absolutely lovely. Full moon next Tuesday and the moonlight tonight is great, you can see the ice and debris left from the wind storm. Fireplaces going, boards are up for the outdoor rinks, lots of Christmas decs. One other runner, gent who was moving fast, no one walking. Listening to ole disco tunes, all bundled up, had a good run, despite making it a short one. You grab what you can when you can sometimes. JB – as for tomorrow, I have no one to sit, everyone is busy. I would have liked to see you and meet your bud but it won’t happen . Anyone else running today or this evening ? Roly - what the hey ??? Gro - you feeling any better ? Sally - you survive the move ? Shower and stretch coming right up.

Hi DF. No doctors. All they say is REST and only after you've waited 3 hours. Ice & Adviland a few days off should do the trick. Probably try again Monday.Sally? Move? Where? Hmmm. Housewarming? Roly. Watch out for pneumonia. There is a nasty flu racing through my school. I already had my shot so I am somewhat safe, I hope. Nite everyone.

Ran earlly this morning with a friend and we ended up losing each other at Parc Lafontaine. Weird.. it's a square! How do you lose someone when you run the perimeter? Stomach acted up at the edge of the parc. Thank goodness of the police station on Rachel. By the time that issue was tamed, the damage had been done. I was in survival mode on the return stretch to the gym. As I reached the monument, ready to fish out my bus pass, I had the pleasure of meeting JB and Pam. With one week to going he is in top form. It was on running on Olmstead as we saw downed trees from yesterday's wild weather. The path was blocked at the where the stairs leading to the lookout Heading back to the gym was difficult. The lack of sleep, stomach acting up and poor nutrition took its toll on me. Hung out in the steam room until I thawed out. Have a great day, TB

No more move ... there has been a change in my life. So no house-warming party either, but I am thinking of renting a studio and holding a birthday party over the holiday period, anyone game for it? Bonnie ------------------

Had my first run on the snow this year. I rather liked it. BTW, do you wear same shoes all year around or you adapt for the winter?

Went on my Westmount bottom-to-top on Sunday morning. Ended up like a snowman. Had a ball. Was wearing new thermal tights bought thru internet (all white, looked like a casse-noisettes dancer).JB: It's coming.. It's coming.. ------------------

JB!!!6 days to go!!! What The Strip will look like at dawn, minus the cars. We'll be starting in front of the big gold building (Mandalay Bay) in the upper left. The big green one (MGM-Grand) nearby is about half-a-mile into the run. By the time we run off the picture on the bottom right, we'll be 5 miles in. I don't know why I'm excited about doing this... if I manage to finish, my present training times tell me I'll have a hard time cracking 5 hours... Mars

I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!! It was great to see ninja boy yesterday. Those are awesome photos Mars - can we say " Desktop wallpaper".The forecast at the moment has the overnight temps to be around 8C... topping out at about 15c, with about 5km/hr winds. Could not be more perfect! I am very stoked! Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a ba$tard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.

Wow, nice pic, Mars ... We are soooo excited for you, JB, and we can't wait for the race report!RG: I run in my regular shoes but have finally caved in and bought some Yak Trak thingies. Don't really know if I need them though since I haven't really been running at all since I can't remember. Merc: How's the injury? Sally ------------------

It's a little chillier than that these days. Overnight temps has been going in low single digits (C), with a couple of nights sub-freezing. The days have been topping off between 11-15 C. Looks like the days will warm up by then, but not the nights. Still, great marathon weather, apart from freezing your privates waiting for the 6:00 AM start... Mars
