I lost my favorite Club Fat Ass Wear shirt.  For two days I've been completely stumped as to where and how and when - and of course miffed, as the bag that I lost also contained my favorite MEC pants, a fleece sweater and a brand new pair of wool running socks.

Results not yet posted but CFA's Ryan Conroy just finished third at the Plain 108 (or so) mile run in Washington, one of the most brutal ultras in the world, with one of the top-12 times of all time.  Woo-hoo.

One of my favorite hidden gem trail races is the Walk in the Park (WITP) in Kamloops, BC.  I ran it this past weekend under unusual circumstances and figured I'd share the story before my dirty running gear goes through the wash.

The Club of 100

(Canadians Who Have Run 100 Ultras... or More!)

** Note:  This list is mostly from memory and a few phone calls and emails.  Pls send me a note to let me know who I've missed or if my numbers are way off! 

Here (I think) are the members of the Canadian Club of 100 as of 18 June 2010:
 

I ran my first ultramarathon run (a run longer than the 42.2K marathon distance) in late November 1990. 

Background

A few weeks ago while running the STORMY 50-miler, I got to chatting with my pals Rick and Ken to pass the time.  The Bagger Challenge and our experiences to date were top of mind.

3 days to go for the second  official running of the Hanes Valley. As of today there are only 5 people signed up. Not quite sure why this is .This run is one of the most scenic around once you get into the Hanes valley . You will get the feeling that you are far away from the city though it's just behind the ridge. So come on people sign up ,weather looks to be good. There are 3 official options . an easy 14 km out and back from to Norvan falls, a more challenging 18 km up the valley to Grouse Mt or the whole 28 km back down Mountain highway to Lynn headwaters . Don't miss out.

I've now posted a route description, and route maps, as well as links to some photos of the lovely Lynn Lake Trail along Lynn Creek.

If you are planning on running, could you email me or leave a comment?

So we have a couple of weeks to figure out the logistic of this.

To make it easier than me trying to explain what is going to happen please go to Jeff's blog for all the details.

I, as always offer overnight yard space.
