##$&^#&*^$*@&#$  it's hard!!!! but it opened up the possibilities of what I'm capable of, and I certainly surprised myself.

I finished, but I found the cut-offs quite harsh and put alot of pressure on me, which I didn't find very enjoyable. And you might wonder if that distance it is ever enjoyable, but yes, I do find it fun when I can take my time, enjoy the views, take pictures, eat properly, not feel sick for hours on end, etc etc    :) 

It's been a fun couple of weeks seeing new trails! Dilly Dally yesterday at Butzen and Mt Slesse in Chilliwack the weekend before. Nice to mix things up a bit. Mt Slesse is the sight of a famous plane crash many years ago. The plane carrying some professional football players as well as regular folks crashed into Mt Slesse, but no one knew this or where the plane went down, until a climber came upon the plane. When we went there was still alot of snow, but in the summer you can see alot of remnants from the plane as no one is allowed to take anything out.

New date and time! This sat June 20th, 0900. Come for coffee and light breaky items at 0800 when the park opens. Prizes to be drawn at 0830. Must be present to win. I'm planning on the full 35km along with a fellow fat asser Krys. Never been up on the Dilly Dally trail and am looking foward to it. Looks like Claudia will be joining us. yay! hope to see you out there. plenty of distances!

Cheers,

Jess

New date and time! June 20th 0900, Buntzen Lake.

Lots of distances for all runners.

For those who have attended before, there will be no pre run breaky this year. I have just updated the "Agenda" page to reflect "light snacks" and COFFEE pre run at 0800 when the park opens. Prizes will be awarded at 0830 for all those who are present. Due to the variety of finish times, this seems to be the way to go as a post run get to gether wouldn't work.

Daniel mentioned to me that he was thinking about cancelling his event this year because he hadn't heard that anyone was thinking about coming. What???!!! So I informed him that we were most definitely looking forward to doing the event, and that I even specifically switched my work days so I could come. So, for any of you who have never run this event, I highly reccommend it. So many people showed up to Mike and Melissa's Fun Run which was 27km, and this event is only 5km more...you can do it!!
