RunVan 21K

Yesterday was the Vancouver BC Marathon, and I ran the Half-Marathon.  The weather worked out really well, it was a nice sunny day in Vancouver.  The race started at 7:00 AM with a temperature of 55 degrees.  Overall I'm pretty pleased with myself, I was able to break the 2hr mark in the race.  My official race time was 1:57:16.  The next time I run this I would like to make 1:50 pace.  I kept up with the 1:50 race bunny for almost half of the race, but they pulled away in the hills.  I have some work to do to fix that.  Here are some pictures of the race.
Laura and I picked up our gear the day before the race.

I'm getting ready to head out the door for the race, as you can see it was still early.

Manish took some photo's of me running.  As you can see here I was in pure agony.

Getting Closer to race day

I feel like I've been on a long road to arrive at this training point.  Perhaps I should back up a bit and explain a little.  I've been running off and on for years now.  In January I decided to run the Vancouver Half Marathon, my buddy Manish brought it up one evening at dinner.  I thought about it for a few minutes and agreed to do it.  This could be fun.  I also figured it would be a good personal goal. It feels like a long road to get to this point.  Winter sucked, I really didn't like running in 20-degree temperatures, bur.  Then I was sick with that terrible cold that was going around, that laid me up for a few weeks.  But with the race coming up quick I laced up my shoes and got out there, a lot!  I pushed myself every week to extend my runs farther and farther.  I'm finally at a point where I can run 11.5 miles and not feel like I killed myself.  I'm slightly sore after my big runs but not enough to bot...

Friday Slog

Well, it's Friday I made it.  I had a crappy night of sleep and I barely made it out of bed this morning.  If it wasn't for my wife I don't think I would have made it out of bed.  According to my watch, I got 5 hours of sleep but I don't believe it.  It was one of those nights where I was watching the clock all night.  I still managed to get myself out there and run 7 miles but it wasn't my best run.  On my way back to the gym, I tried a slightly different route.  I don't think today was the day to try new routes.  On my way back after running through Bridle Trails, I took NE 29th, wow that steeper than I expected.  I really dragged myself up that hill.  I ended up walking up part of it, I just didn't have it in me to fight the hill.  Maybe when I feel more rested I can try it again.  Until next time.
