Cinny Bun Run Recap

.......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

2)  Ruby in her Santa outfit

3)  The abundance of happy runners in Pacific Spirit Park, like this one character with flamboyant orange gloves

4)  Rain and snow, or lack thereof - what happend in the forecast, stayed in the forecast

5)  Reflection and laughter at the coffee shop, with a brief foray into what the club is all about and why we do what we do, in a cool, reflective non-buzz-kill sort of way for the benefit of newcomer Paul, who, with Vicky, and dog Bodhi in supporting roles, chose to make the Cinny Bun Run his first (and hopefully not last) sugar and-cinnamon-laced quaf from the mystical chalice of clubfatassness.

 

Happy holidays to all, and may visions of cinny buns dance in your heads!
