[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 →

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 →

Blame it on NYC.

I had missed the pre­vi­ous week’s train­ing run due to travel, but I made it back home in time for the Last ½  run  on Sunday from Cleve­land Dam to Deep Cove….or so I thought. Or rather….I wasn’t (think­ing). Con­tinue read­ing →

Well, thank you every­one for your flex­i­bil­ity and under­stand­ing with today’s train­ing run. We made an error in both the planned run for today and the meet­ing point and didn’t catch it until late last night. Thank you to Glenn and Patri­cia who did their best to ensure we didn’t leave anyone hang­ing, and I do apol­o­gize if the com­mu­ni­ca­tion caused frustration.

It was good to see so many famil­iar faces today. For next week’s run, the meet­ing place is as posted — Cleve­land dam at 8am. Please be in touch if you have ques­tions or comments.

Happy train­ing!

Last minute change to tomorrow’s train­ing run meet­ing place! We’re meet­ing at Cleve­land Dam (at 7:30am), not Lynn Canyon Sus­pen­sion Bridge. Sorry for the short notice, it was an error in the sched­ule details that was just caught late today.

I am becom­ing good friends with Envi­ron­ment Canada…especially on the few days lead­ing up to our Sunday runs. Weather for Sunday was mixed: 40% chance of show­ers in the morn­ing fol­lowed by rain in the after­noon. Good, I thought. Well, in the middle of the night, I woke up to pound­ing rain on my roof. Not so good, I thought. Con­tinue read­ing →
