(We have our first 2011 train­ing run report! Note that all 2011 train­ing run reports will be posted on the bottom of the Train­ing Run web­page.)

Wel­come, fellow Knackers!!!

We finally kicked off the offi­cial 2011 run­ning season under sunny (albeit cold!!!) skies. I hope this is a sign of things to come. Last year’s train­ing went down as the wettest in memory, so a little less humid­ity is very much appreciated.

As is our tra­di­tion, our first train­ing run is on the same day as the Van­cou­ver Marathon, so we started off with a small­ish group of 30 people….about half of whom are new to the Knee Knacker. Glad to have you on board.

Our run took us from the Grouse park­ing lot along the Baden Powell  to our turn­around at Moun­tain High­way. Per­son­ally, I opted to turn around just prior to the drop to the gravel road….hopefully, my moti­va­tion will grow as we progress through the training!

Every­one seemed to have a decent run & it was great to see people run in small groups….get to know each other, you’ll be spend­ing quite a few hours together in the woods.

See you next week!
