Over the last few days some of you may have noticed that our site is not working as it should.  Due to problems at the server/hosting end we've been experiencing everything from slow page loads, to missing images, to blank pages and dead links.  Thanks for all your feedback on this.

After the torrential rains Vancouver and especially the North Shore Mountains experienced, there are some bridge issues on the course of the Go Home. We're determining if the course needs altering a bit. If it does I'll update the course description before the run. It will only be a minor change.

I was recently volunteered to moderate a discussion panel at an upcoming Club Fat Ass speaker event.  The topic is the Western States 100-Mile Endurance run and how to run a 100-mile run. 

With the Western States lottery coming up in a few weeks and a stellar panel of Western States finishers assembled to share their knowledge, interest in the speaker evening is running high.

It's Sunday 31 December 2006.  I just assessed my 2006 fitness resolutions and gave myself a 75% or "C" grade.  Room for improvement!

There is a horse race in the gold rush country of California called the Tevis Cup.  When his horse went lame at the start of the race 34 years ago, Gordie Ainsley decided to challenge the course on foot.  Gordie ended up running the 100-mile distance faster than some of the horses.  Like Forrest Gump, he started a trend.

Join us on November 18th at 9:00am for "Go Home".  This 20km trail run features challenging terrain with approximately 2500m of vertical change on a mix of steep ascents and descents and fast, rolling groomed trails.  To find out more and to register please check out the event event website.

For the last two years I have been following the adventures of Colin Angus, Tim Harvey and Julie Wafaei who set out to circumnavigate the earth using human power.  Last night, I attended their presentations at the Denman Theatre downtown.  If you don't have any plans for tonight yet, I highly recommend you attend their last engagement in Vancouver (then they are crossing Canada to present in different cities).
