Only day without rain in forecast, come take advantage

So as we wrap up an odd July here, we seem to continue to be spared on Wednesday nights for the inclement weather (minus last week a bit, but we had a great plan B).  If you're starting to get in gear for the upcoming Montreal Marathon or Half in September, this is the way to deliver a solid run every week.  We keep growing by leaps and bounds, but always have room for more.

Yes it's warm, no we won't run + Race Info

Ice is never your friend people.  #1 it keeps your beer too cold, #2 it'll try to kill you while running (yes, the order is important).  So don't get too excited with the brief warm spot as the melting snow is just exposing the worst of the ice. 

In other news though, as our thoughts turn to warmer weather, there are several great races this year that should be on your radar.  Info on the Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, and Marathon are below:

Where's the snow? Run optional tonight?

Well it's been quite a week of change here in Montreal, the weather gods seem to be favoring runners for now at least (tomorrow may be a different story, -15 for a high last I checked).  The snow on my balcony went from covering up my grill my completely to being almost completely gone.  So, I'll put it out there that I may take a run today, well before hitting up Ye Olde at 9 on Prince Arthur and St. Laurent, so if you're interested shoot me a message or reply in the comments here.

Otherwise, don't forget to spread the word to any non-runners that we are open and non-discriminatory right now, all are welcome to join up whenever they like and avoid cabin fever.

Last weeks of summer, make it count!

The summer days seem to quickly be fading on us here, but we intend to make the most of it.  Tonight's run is to a great location more off the beaten path than a lot of the bars so far, but definitely a great one to check out.  The beer list tonight is 33 beers long, the terrace is still open, and there's no better place to be.  http://www.vicesetversa.com/.

Side note: We are considering changing the starting location.  If anyone has had trouble locating us please don't be shy and we can explore other start points.
