For a variety of reasons, I have neglected my trail running training this year. A different project at work and more involvement with the yoga for runners classes added up to few opportunities to go hoofing in the wilderness on the North Shore. Oh ya, and this really cold spring that kept the snow on a lot of trails until recently. I will use that excuse too.

Victoria Times Colonist 10K, April 26, 2009
Despite achieving my best 10K to date, the Sun Run just wasn't fun for me because of the cold I was suffering at that time. As luck would have it, the race itself seemed to have chased off the last remnants of the virus and I was feeling quite well by the middle of the following week. And what does one do after running a race that just wasn't as fun as it could have been? Why, sign up for another one right away, of course!
Vancouver Sun Run 10K April 19, 2009
After the good result I had in the Harry's Spring Run-off, I was ready to do well in the Sun Run.
Yoga for Runners
Since January 2008, I've been taking weekly yoga classes at the False Creek Community Centre at Granville Island.
Harry's Spring Run-Off 8K March 8, 2009
I enjoyed running this race last year as it is a good practice for the Sun Run, so I signed up again this year. This time, I was able to convince a colleague at work to run this event.
Running Room 5K Resolution Run Jan 1 2009
After the New Balance Fall Classic, I hadn't planned on doing any racing until the new year. I was targeting the First Half half-marathon in February. The signup for the First Half is in the late fall, but I misread the website and missed the signup date. Now normally this is not a problem because most races have signup periods that last for months, but not this one. For the 2009 offering, it sold out in less than 5 hours! Oh well. Maybe next year.
