A Rain Forest Run

Running west on the BP from Cleveland Dam is not my favorite trail...talk about a nasty hill.  However, last Saturday, Pat and I ventured up past the British Properties and followed the Brother's Creek Fire Road.  I hiked there before, but had forgotten how magical the area is.  Crossover Trail and Brother's Creek Trail are out of this world.  Here is a short video of our run.  Enjoy!

Pacing Wader - The Conspiracy Theories

 

My friends Wade, Dom and Ryne are without a doubt among the best long distance runners in Canada.  They had trained very hard and very smart.  They were all very ready for the Western States 100-mile endurance run.  And yet all 3 failed to complete the 100-mile distance on race day.  There had to be a conspiracy!

I have now finished my 10 hours of running... All week I have been manipulating my schedule around my running... Monday I rested, ate worked 10.5 hours and spent the whole ,almost the whole time planning my running week. Tuesday started with a 45 minute run to my first client a 8 minute run to the next and a 38 minute run to my third. Heck it's 10 oclock and I've logged an hour and a half!
