Hi gang!

Since I'm in Victoria visiting here for New Years I know I'll miss the FA 50k in Vancouver. To start the year off right I wanted to run 50k to get my ultra year started right!

Starting from Shellbourne and San Juan street in Saanich I plan to run along the Cordova Bay Rd South, Beach Rd, King George, Dallas Rd to Beacon Hill park to mile 'zero'.  That's appox 21k.  Turn around and head back.  Join my family for a 8k loop to complete the 50k.

Short notice but sign up if you're interested.

Happy New Year!

What: A snowshoe hike/run on a snowy mountain peak.  In the dark.  On the last day of the year.

Why: Let me count the ways...

Run off the holiday treats with us as we train for Orcas Island 50km. Please indicate your participation in a comment below.

START: 7am, Bean Around the World, Parkgate Village at Mt. Seymour Road. Yes, it's early, but Kelly is heading out of town at noon, and it'll be nice to get it out of the way before the teenager wakes up :-)

ROUTE: First half is same as Seymour Super Fun Run, but here's my description:

A Christmas Eve morning dash along major bike routes and the seawall around Downtown Vancouver, starting and ending in Vancouver's historic Strathcona neighborhood.

As in the past 5 or 6 years I would like you to join us on our annual Christmas run at Buntzen Lake.  

There are two routes to choose from:

What:

We'll run from Spanish Banks east concession to Pacific Spirit Park and back for ~15km (middle third of the New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 Run course)

Agenda:

What: A short group run (about 10km) in celebration of St. Nikolaus Day on the 6th of December. Make sure to bring a flash light as we'll be running in the trails in the dark.  After the run we'll have a brief get together with Gluehwein.  Please car pool and/or have a designated driver.

Where: We'll meet at the Yellow Beacon in North Vancouver.  If you do not know this secret location, please send me a note.
