July 3 Training Run Photos — He saw, She saw
July 3, 2011 Training run photos by Ken Blowey are here and Karen Chow’s are here.
Thank you for running across the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. (The suspension bridge is not part of the race course.) And since the runners arrived at Deep Cove before the photographers, it’s Runners 1, Photographers 0.
Oops, we goofed!
Both Glenn and I thought the other one would be out for today’s run.… Well, as you noticed, neither of us showed up and we sincerely apologize! We hope that your run went smoothly and you were all able to make it through without too many adventures!
Next week, we will be meeting in Deep Cove at 7:30 am in Panorama parking lot to shuttle to Lynn Canyon Park. We are doing the last quarter of the Baden Powell. This is our final official training run until race day.
Have a restful and healthy week,
Glenn and Patricia (He said, she said)

A perfect day for trail running with 70 of my best-est under-dressed friends!!! The sun was coming out, the trails were relatively dry, & there would be the possibility of doughnuts at the end of it all. Continue reading

Finally…this is the type of weather that defines (in my mind) what these Knee Knacker training runs are all about….warm weather, sunshine, & a (mostly) dry trail!

[June 5 training run report]
Sun. Blue sky. Warmth…. This is what greeted about 70 runners last Sunday at the Grouse Mountain parking lot. “Normal” running clothes were seen today. Gone were the hats, long sleeves, tights and jackets that we have seen for the last few months…. Replaced with shorts and t shirts…. What month are we in again? Continue reading
May 29 Training Run Photos — He Saw, She Saw
May 29 Training Run — Limited Parking at Cleveland
A reminder that parking may be an issue for the May 29 training run, as the NSA Iron and Tender Knee Trail Race is starting at Cleveland Park (while we’ll be starting from Cleveland Dam). Park on the side streets, if needed.
May 22 Training Run Report — She Said
Despite having a mix up with our meeting place, we still managed to organize the posse of about 40 runners and take off into the trails by 7:45 am. Not bad, considering nearly some of our group was parked at the dam at 7:30 and needed to high tail it over to Lynn Canyon parking lot. Continue reading
