Flash - Pacific Nights 1105

7 Feb 2011 18:00
7 Feb 2011 19:30
Location: 
Pacific Spirit Park, Vancouver BC

What:
A week-day evening trail run, in a group. Expect mud, rain, cold temperatures, total darkness, slippery roots and stairs.
Possibly magnificent views of the ocean, north shore mountains, and downtown Vancouver.
Why:
Getting your post-work day, winter-time trail run done is less miserable with company. Even if you already know (and bored of) the trails in Pacific Spirit, I promise you’ll see something new, and besides, everything is different in the dark.

a blog about beer, and sometimes about running

my husband (who has joined us on at least one CFA run! maybe 2? i can't remember exactly!!) writes a rather amusing blog about beer, and his most recent installment was also about running (so that he can drink beer...). the picture here is featured in his blog post - near the top of Mt Finlayson in Victoria. and no, i'm not wearing a dress, but i am wearing fivefingers! i thought some of you might like his story, and the rest of his blog too:

Yet Another Damn Beer Blog

enjoy! see you on the trails,

2011 January - Foolish Gerbil 80K Trail Run Report

 
Not as large a crowd as the previous Foolish Gerbil run.  Can't imagine why...the temperature was relatively warm and no ice in sight.
Only two takers for the 80 K challenge.   Congratulations to both.

Ultrarunning vs. Triathlons

When asked, "What's your favorite sport?", I always have to stop and think about the question. 

I love sliding on snow in all of its forms (downhill, cross-country, back-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding.)  If I could do anything I darn-well pleased and money was no object, it would surely be descending steep slopes of deep, dry, untracked powder on a sunny, sub-zero day.  Unfortunately, heli-skiing and cat-skiing are more addictive and expensive than crack, so I don't do them that often.
