Sunday, October 5th, I ran 27K in Vancouver. I was in Vancouver for a wedding on Saturday night - and Suzanne suggested that I hook up with the Running Room location in Vancouver and join their Sunday run. So, I did.
It was a nice change of scenery. Running along the seawall down through Granville Island, Kits Beach, Jericho Beach, out to the end of Point Grey Road to NW Marine Drive. And then back the same route.
You'd think I would have learned my lesson already - but it turned out that I didn't have enough fuel for breakfast so I found the run really exhausting. I got to about the 8K mark and didn't feel like continuing. However - if you've ever been to Kits on a Sunday morning - you'll notice that there are hundreds of people out there being active - running, riding, walking their dogs, kayaking, etc. So you have to keep going!
All in all a good run - a bit slower than normal but the knee held up. I'm feeling a little kinked in my lower back and left hip - and I hope to have that dealt with by going to Chiro / Massage. That's all for now!

Congrat's for hanging in there..
I had knee pain that limited me to 15/27k (if
i have that conversion right... ;^) in training. You can finish being undertrained...the secret is to parcel out your energy evenly and don't get caught up in the 'race' at the beginning. Which is what i did and I paid a huge price the last 10k. Very slow and painful...but I finished. If finishing is you're goal,you will finish no matter what. Good Luck!
