BFG Rave Runs: Vancouver BC

Surrounded by spectacular natural beauty, the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is recognized as one of the world's most livable cities, renowned for its innovative programs and leading in the areas of sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity.

Spent a year with UBC in Vancouver in 2003/4. So it's deja vu coming back in June 2006. Unlike the first sojourn, where I clocked up a grand total of no more than 5k over the entire 12 months (no joke!), this time was different.

Jul 4, 2006
Ran along Burrard St and downtown Vancouver. Short 5k



Jul 5, 2006
About 15k around Stanley Park. Longest run todate.
SM and I wanted to do a 10k run, but we underestimated the distance. When we were halfway around the park, we realized our mistake, but it didn't make any difference to continue or turn around.



But what a gorgeous day it was! Just couldn't resist putting up some older pix here. Gonna run the Vancouver marathon some day, just as tin-tin did!
