After last years epic 50km on New Years Day I had my heart set on a repeat, but alas it wasn't meant to be.  Despite an increase in our training runs, Michele, Pat and I just couldn't get our mileage up enough to realistically attempt 50km.  When the snow in late November and the storms of early December put a damper on some of our runs we finally declared defeat and aimed for the 25km distance.

On Thursday 14 December 06, a howler of a storm ripped through Vancouver's Stanley Park.  Winds of 115-120 kilometers/hour blasted the park snapping and uprooting 3,000 trees and causing extensive damage to the famous seawall trail.

Just a quick update to let you know that a small but fun bunch of the local
Club Fat Assers left the cold and snow on the ground a week or so back and
went over to warmer climates for some training er... running. We all planned
our winter warm weather escape and went and ran the Honolulu International
Marathon, held December 10th. Everyone with our group finished the marathon

Tomorrow at 7:00 am we go on a road trip.  

This particular road trip is from the Vancouver, BC area to the Galbraith Mountain Tour, a trail run near Bellingham, Washington.  This road trip will have many unique qualities about it.  These qualities include the route we take, the time we leave, the cast of characters who will be going on the trip and so on. 

My resolutions this year:-

Forgeting about trying to convert my training runs into miles or kilomtres, well that was very easy, so that one doen't really count...

I didn't manage to up my training runs over 10 hours per week, my average this year was 10 hours almost bang on 10, so no real upping... 

Make one of my runs at least 4 hours.(This I had to do as my work was encroching on my training!)

Get in some dawn running in the spring. (That worked well, I managed to do some doubles, running with my wife!)
