just did a bit of math - am a bit freaked out. Last year at this time I had put in double the amount of KMS as I have so far...

Hello, I'm looking for a training buddy close to my neighborhood (Ahuntsic). Speed is not my forté or my goal. Endurance is my primary strength. Slow but steady. A bit of a turtle, a good-natured turtle. Thanks! n.

Just wondering, do one of you women already have a hotel room booked in Trois Rivières? If so, I'd like to use your name as a tenting partner - that way, you guessed it, I can have a tent to myself. Please let me know. Much appreciated! Patrice (Ms.)

Hi Ya Folks; Well I've had a RTCC break and am thinking it's time to rev up the old fund raising engines again.

I like the garage sale idea with a table for donati...
