Route: We did the usual route to Adanac and ran all the way to Science World. It wasn't quite long enough, so we ran along False Creek to the Cambie Bridge, up and over the bridge (using the pedestiran access - we didn't go all the way to the end where the cars go on and off), and back to Eileen Dailly along Adanac.

Distance: 19km

Weather: Sunny/overcast, 205C.

Next week: We are going to run our 10km at Burnaby Lake. See you at the parking lot at 8am!

Snowshoeing: We are thinking of snowshoeing instead of one of our 10km runs. The tentative date is Sunday, 22 March.

Sunday, 22 Feb 2009

Route: We ran west along Pandora, jogged down to Adanac and continued west to Kaslo. There we went north to Wall St., turned east and headed back along the trail. The little loop at the end is us going around the track once to get the last little bit of our 10km distance in. :)
Distance: 10km

Weather: rainy, 6C

Next week: The Half Way 5K is on Sunday, so we have switched our run day to Saturday, 28 Feb. Meet at Eileen Dailly at 8am for a run to Science World (~18km) or further for those going longer.

Sunday, 15 Feb 2009 - across the bridge

Route: We had two groups today. Both left from Eileen Dailly and took the trail to the Iron Workers' Bridge, over the bridge and along Dollarton Hwy. One group continued along Dollarton to where it curves north and meets Mount Seymour Pkwy, They turned west along the Pkwy, back over the bridge, and along the trail back to the centre. (The yellow and blue lines.)

The second group cut north about 2.5km along Dollarton. We went up Ellis to Plymouth, then Tollcross and onto Mount Seymour Pkway. We took the same route back as the others. (The yellow line.)
Distances:
Shorter route: 14km
Longer route: 21km

Weather: SUNNY! 0-4C

Sunday, 8 Feb 2009

Route: We went west from Eileen Dailly along Pandora. At Kootenay St., we zagged down to Adanac and headed west. From there, we went north on Lakewood (cut across Templeton School) to Wall St and then east on Wall to the trail and back to the centre.

Distance: 11.3km

Weather: 2-3C, overcast

Next week: Good luck to everyone running the First Half! We'll be supporting you with our own "half" - over the Iron Worker's bridge, along the Dollarton Hwy to Deep Cove and back to Eileen Dailly along Mount Seymour Pkwy. For anyone wanting a shorter run, some of us will be cutting up to the parkway at Plymouth for a total distance of about 15km. There is also the option to run across the bridge and back for a distance of 8-10km depending on your turn-around point.

Sunday, 1 Feb 2009

Route: There were a couple of groups today. The scheduled distance was 19km. One group did a short run to Kensington and back. The other group ran to Burnaby Mountain Secondary and back.
Distance: short run - 8.7km

Distance: long run - 18.6km (according to my mapping software. I didn't run this route, so I'm guessing where they went. I was told that they ran 20km.)

Weather: snowing
