New Balance Fall Classic 10K - November 16, 2008

My last race of 2008 was the New Balance Fall Classic.  I opted for the 10K distance for two reasons: I had already done two halfs this year and felt that was enough for now and I didn't fancy running the same route twice.

Royal Victoria Half Marathon Oct 12, 2008

Having finished my last trail race of 2008, I set my sights on my second half marathon of the year: the Royal Victoria Half Marathon in Victoria BC.  Clara and I traveled to Victoria for a long weekend, staying with Clara's Mom who lives about 2 kilometres from the start line of the race.

5 Peaks Buntzen Lake Enduro Sept 13, 2008

Almost a year to the day after my first trail run ever, I returned to Buntzen Lake to run the enduro course for the 2008 offering.  I was happy to meet up with pace bunny and her beau at this race too.  Together, we covered all three courses:  pace bunny did the sport, I did the enduro and beau did the half marathon - which was actually 25 km!

5 Peaks Whistler Enduro August 23, 2008

Apparently, the Cypress trail run was just a warm up.  The big mountain for running was about a month later:  Whistler.  Yes, there is an event that involves running up a part of the mountainside in Whistler, BC.  The one used for "world class" skiing.  Skiing DOWNhill that is.
