Training run report – May 1

(We have our first 2011 training run report! Note that all 2011 training run reports will be posted on the bottom of the Training Run webpage.)

Welcome, fellow Knackers!!!

We finally kicked off the official 2011 running season under sunny (albeit cold!!!) skies. I hope this is a sign of things to come. Last year’s training went down as the wettest in memory, so a little less humidity is very much appreciated.

As is our tradition, our first training run is on the same day as the Vancouver Marathon, so we started off with a smallish group of 30 people….about half of whom are new to the Knee Knacker. Glad to have you on board.

Our run took us from the Grouse parking lot along the Baden Powell  to our turnaround at Mountain Highway. Personally, I opted to turn around just prior to the drop to the gravel road….hopefully, my motivation will grow as we progress through the training!

Everyone seemed to have a decent run & it was great to see people run in small groups….get to know each other, you’ll be spending quite a few hours together in the woods.

See you next week!
