Al Howie Was In Town....

Last night CGP, Ken Webb, another Ken(raw food) and I arranged to meet the E&N from Duncan. Al was invited, by Harriers Joanne Cowan to stay the W/E in her Goose-side B&B (Cycle-inn).
 
I hadn't seen Al since the Harriers 8K, back in '99 -I think, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Yes he is thin, yes he still wares glasses.

My Sorry Half Ass

After last years epic 50km on New Years Day I had my heart set on a repeat, but alas it wasn't meant to be.  Despite an increase in our training runs, Michele, Pat and I just couldn't get our mileage up enough to realistically attempt 50km.  When the snow in late November and the storms of early December put a damper on some of our runs we finally declared defeat and aimed for the 25km distance.

Vancouver's Stanley Park Trails

Stanley Park Trails
On Thursday 14 December 06, a howler of a storm ripped through Vancouver's Stanley Park.  Winds of 115-120 kilometers/hour blasted the park snapping and uprooting 3,000 trees and causing extensive damage to the famous seawall trail.

This coming Monday 1 January 2007, I host the 14th annual »

Fat Asses in Hawaii

Club Fat Assers at Diamond Head

Just a quick update to let you know that a small but fun bunch of the local
Club Fat Assers left the cold and snow on the ground a week or so back and
went over to warmer climates for some training er... running. We all planned
our winter warm weather escape and went and ran the Honolulu International
Marathon, held December 10th. Everyone with our group finished the marathon

The Five (5) Minute Rule

Tomorrow at 7:00 am we go on a road trip.  

This particular road trip is from the Vancouver, BC area to the Galbraith Mountain Tour, a trail run near Bellingham, Washington.  This road trip will have many unique qualities about it.  These qualities include the route we take, the time we leave, the cast of characters who will be going on the trip and so on.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a second to let you know about an amazing friend of mine that is currently cycling across Canada.
He left Victoria on Sept 18th and is currently fighting snow storms in Northern Ontario!
His journey does not 'end' until December 4th in St. John's, where he will get a nice home cooked meal from my very own mother.

His journey is in the name of charity, The Heart and Stroke foundation to be exact.
