5 Peaks Buntzen Lake Enduro - September 19, 2009

I had a GREAT day at Buntzen Lake and really enjoyed this event.

5 Peaks Whistler Enduro - August 22, 2009

Though the Buntzen Lake Enduro is longer and has greater elevation gain, this is the toughest Enduro course of the 5 Peaks season. Last year pace bunny and I ran the course together and I was just happy to complete it without medical attention (LOL). This year I would be running it alone as pace bunny had conflicting commitments. Would I be up for the challenge on my own?

5 Peaks Mt. Seymour Enduro - July 25, 2009

After my disappointing Scotiabank half, I was looking forward to doing my next trail race. I had not run the Mt. Seymour trails before so I would not have the benefit of knowing the route beforehand, but for me that is part of the fun.

Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon - June 28, 2009

This was the second time I had run this event as I really enjoyed it in 2008. Lots of runners of different abilities, a well organized start area and lots of port-o-potties - a sure sign of a well planned race!

5 Peaks Simon Fraser University Enduro - June 13 2009

5 Peaks goes back to school! Well, not really. The second race of the 5 Peaks series here in the lower mainland was held atop Burnaby Mountain in Burnaby. This was the first time 5 Peaks had run an event at this location and overall it was very well organized.

5 Peaks Golden Ears Enduro - May 9, 2009

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!
