What do you have planned for the weekend?
This weekend I have a bike and swim planned for Saturday and a run on Sunday. I am also volunteering with the E-Venti Marathon. This is a marathon that the SAA supports by either running or volunteering for. I am going to be at one of the Starbucks water stations handing out water, coffee and goodies to the runners.
Check back for photos next week.
Happy Training.
After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt. I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time. It never fails to be hilly and hard. Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park. I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'. I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west. I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills. That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes. After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver. Reward: Whit...

I have a stadium run on Saturday morning and a run on the trails in Laguna Beach in the afternoon.
