Stretching after a long Run

Training for the Vancouver New Year's Fat Ass 50 is going well. Yesterday we tackled 3h on the course. Starting at Kits Point we headed west passed the pool and the old tree trunk on the beach, followed Point Grey Road to Jericho Beach. This used to be my home turf and running along the groomed gravel path always felt decadent. The views are magnificent with the the waters of English Bay stretching to the North Shore Mountains. At Spanish Banks we left the beach and clambered uphill into the trails of Pacific Spirit Park.

Mushroom Mania - The Benefits of Trail Running on Vancouver's North Shore in the Fall

It's fun to run the trails in the winter because it's so invigorating. It's fun to run them in the spring because everything is so fresh and green. Trail running in the summer is awesome because you don't need many clothes. Fall is great because the woods smell like leaves and there's a cool nip in the air. I also love fall for the mushrooms.

10 Reasons for Running In The Rain

Getting serious with my plans to run the Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 and to not neglect my midweek runs, I couldn't find an excuse this morning for not heading out.

It was raining, really hard. The roads were flooded and the trails looked like giant mud puddles. Our furnace had broken down the day before and I was slowly turning into an icicle. Moving could only be good!
 

Have a great H2H and stuff...

I am sure that Geoff Palmer and Wendy Montgomery are going to "giver". This will be the first time in 4 years that I will miss it! 2005 was my 100 Mile year, that's did. My next 100M will probably be the Javelina Jundred.

Great Lake Walk

Great Lake Walk 56K 2005 Exactly one week after running my first 100 mile race I toed the line once again, this time in a local "round the lake run" @ Lake Cowichan, B.C.I was by no means fully recovered from my previous weeks race but decided that the chances of doing reasonably well were good as the bulk of the field were hikers.I had the good fortune of winning the inaugural running of this race and wanted to have an unbroken streak in something!This year was the slowest finish for me, there was just no humph in me, I felt better at the end of the run than the beginning, but I
