You, the judges, have spoken...we now have winners in the 2005 Traveling Colours Contest!

1st - Gary Robbins of Squamish, BC took top spot with the photo of his exuberant finish at the 50km Knee Knacker North Shore Trail Run last July. Gary will receive a refund on his 2006 membership dues and eternal bragging rights.

If it isn't one injury, it's another. First, plantar fasciitis (where the meat on the bottom of your foot comes off the bone) then patella-femoral syndrome (a knee that clicks and pops and hurts whether you run on it or not.) Both are nasties that take a long time to heal...and as soon as I figured I'd licked the former, I get the latter.

The sweeper's function is to "sweep the trail" by collecting flagging, garbage and sometimes the participants during a race. We're there to make sure that no one gets lost and no gets left behind, to adminster first aid and encouragement if requested, (because there's nothing worse than having the sweeper pass you because you're not moving fast enough)

Hi folks,

Well, for any of you that have not heard yet the Coquitlam Club Fat Ass crew are putting on a new event here in the Tri Cities area in about 2 short months. April 22nd is the date to keep clear on your calendar. You will not want to miss this one...

These guys could use some runners to kick off the inaugural year. It doesn't sound particularly easy, either :)

Special thanks to all who participated in the Yeti's complimentary snowshoe night yesterday.

The temps were perfect and the snowshoe running on the trails held little evidence of the fog enveloping the city.

Join us for the fourth annual Capilano Canyon Night Run and potluck party on Saturday 18 February at 6:30 pm. Register here!
This is a 90 minute run in the dark. Afterwards, runners, crew, friends and a few neighbours get together for a Mardi Gras celebration that starts in the hot tub and finishes with a potluck party that usually lasts a lot
longer than the run!

Don't miss the snowshoe trial night for Club Fat Ass members, Tuesday, 21 February 2006.
