Thought I'd share something inspirational. This is what a client of mine is doing. His name is Van Barbre from Corona, CA and he started marathoning in 1999 at the age of 55. His aim for 2008 is to run a marathon a month. http://vanbarbre.blogspot.com/ Last Sunday he finished the San Francisco Marathon in 4:34:04 at 63 yrs young.

Hi Everyone,

I had a couple of volunteers lined up to help with package pickup on Wednesday at the Running Room, but now they are unable to be there.

I am hoping to find one or two other people to help me out on this night.

Package pickup is at the North Vancouver Running Room from 3PM to 8PM.

The fourth running on the Fluffy Bunny is now in the books and once again a good time was had by all. Mild and cloudy weather made for excellent running conditions, but unfortunately the stunning views from the Diez Vista trail were obscured by the clouds. Thanks to all who came out and I hope to see you all next year!

Just wanted to post a quick recap of our weekend and let everyone know it was an absolute 'blast'! Cheesy I know!

Geoff Palmer picked the date and threw it out there. Myself, Tom Craik and Duncan Coo all jumped at the chance to tackle this trail.

I (Jeff Hunt) will be posting the details for our JdF Trail Run here.http://trailadventurer.blogspot.com/ If you have anything to add, or any questions, just email me at jeff.hunt@smus.bc.ca Feel free to invite anyone you want for this run. The more, the merrier. Date: August 23rd, 2008.
