Missing The Fools

The morning started with a loud knocking waking me out of deep sleep.  "Oh shoot", I thought, "that is my running buddy... why did I not hear my alarm?"  Still half asleep I glanced at my watch (but being half blind I didn't realize that it was way too early for my running partner to be knocking at my door), jumped out of bed, raced downstairs, opened the house door, set off the alarm, had trouble resetting it without my glasses...only to realize that my friend was not there.

Congratulations to Kneeknacker Lottery Winners

Congratulations to all of you whose names were drawn in the Knee Knacker lottery last night.... and condolonces to those who didn't make it (quite a few). 

If you are curious, here is a link to the 2008 Entrants and here to the ones that missed out.

Back On The Trails?

Today is the last day to register for Kneeknacker.  If you have been sitting on the fence and contemplating... better get your FA into gear...

Avalanche and Backcountry Safety

With the recent and repeated avalanche warnings and the high number of avalanche fataities this year, our family has been talking about taking a back country safety course and avalanche safety training.

Both Action Jackson and I are drawn to back country skiing.  As of yet, we do not have any equipment, but it is on our radar... Craigslist watch out!  I have a low risk tolerance and like to be prepared...

Post 50km Recovery

50km on Willpower

Late last summer I foolishly pronounced I would line up for the Vancouver New Years Day 50Km again. Training was going well until life got in the way, my daughter got sick, my friends took a break from long runs and to top it of my right hip started to be very painful.

I eventually resigned to run the 25km yesterday and try the 50km another year. Deep inside, though, I didn't want to run the 25km. I wanted to do the 50km.
