After achieving my goal in the Sun Run, I turned to training for my first trail run of the year. I was so impressed with the organization and execution of the 5 peaks run I participated in last year that I signed up for all 5 races in 2008! Well, that and the offer of a ton of useful stuff as an incentive to book all races at once.

Sun Run 2008 April 15 2008
A year since I ran in my first race ever, I thought I would give the Sun Run a go again. I signed up early and began practicing some longer distances as spring came.

Harry's Spring Runoff Vancouver - March 9, 2008
To start my "running season" early and lightly, I signed up for an 8K run in Stanley Park. The run is sponsored by Harry Rosen in support of prostate cancer research.
The Seawall Re-opens!
A few months off from race participation can only mean one thing - training runs galore. What made this easier was the re-opening of the Stanley Park Seawall late in the year after repairs were completed due to storm damage the previous winter. So Christmas 2007 was all about running around the park, literally.

Fall Classic 10K - November 18, 2007
After two trail races and equipped with a great set of orthotics and new road running shoes -- New Balance 1061s -- it was time to try another road race. The previous year, pace bunny had run the New Balance Fall Classic held at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in November. She recommended it as a great race to try. So I signed up and did the hoofing myself.
