The Wilder Snail is a warm, intimate neighborhood cafe/grocery set in the historic Strathcona neighborhood near Downtown Vancouver - what better place to start a Christmas Eve flash event that would span the urban jungle and along a rain and wind-swept seawall?

.......A beach, some fast, rolling trails, and the best cinny buns around....

That was the basic idea for the 1st Cinny Bun Run, but I'll remember much more than that, including

1)  the stunning early morning blue-gray portrait of the north shore mountains framed by a glass-like Burrard Inlet

This past Saturday was the 9th Annual Seymour Super Fun Run.  Although I signed up for the 27K, I had no intention of running that far.  Saturday was supposed to be the day I cleaned the gutters, raked the leaves and completed other yard work. Have to be responsible, after all.

Run off the holiday treats with us as we train for Orcas Island 50km!

8am. Location TBD based on trail conditions.

As we cannot do the whole course next weekend, Bill and I decided to run it today. Definitely chilly up higher (enough to make our bladder tubes start to freeze) with some solid snowcover, but nothing extraordinary. Lower trails had barely any ground snow at all, but the bushes and trees sure looked pretty!

Last year saw me with a ripped calf for the first couple of months, but otherwise, 2010 was a great year.  I completed my 100th ultra, finished a 100-miler and bagged 48 peaks in the Bagger Challenge.

Hello everybody!

Just a reminder of my race here in Victoria.

The 24th.Annual running of the

"Island Runner" Elk/Beaver Ultras 2011.

This race will always be flat, fast and early in the season.the first Saturday in May.

I think that the 50 Miler will get the nod this year as the National Championship race.

Any first time marathoners want to do it here around the lake?

No cars! No worries, we are still looking for a solid CR for a newbie...
