Start:
 Are you able to get off work and get over here for Saturday morning?
Dear Trail runners,
I am organizing yet another trail run on Saturday June 23rd, this time I want to run the stretch of the trail from Port Renfrew South.
The plan is to meet at the Botanical Beach Trailhead @ 10 am and run for 2.5 hours out then turn and return.
There will be fast people and slower trailers so the out and back format ensures that no-one get left for the bears ( just kidding!)
I have a pair of walkie-talkies which were a lot of fun last time, and could be real handy should someone get injured. Bring snacks and drinks. There is no water on the trail unless you want to dip into the creeks.
Bring a camera and your most optimistic frame of mind. Obviously if you want to hike, instead of run, you will cover way less distance and you could always turn before the half way point. It's all good. Be there or be square. Jackal

Start:
So we are all done. 5 souls started 5 finished. Bob Wall, Isao Hirayama,Jeff Hunt,Caroline Goluza ,and I. Bob, Isao and Jeff took off and , after a little bit of reorientation and re grouping,tookoff again leaving Caroline Isao and I as the caboose. After some beach walking on Bear Beach and some ankle wading on Sombrio , we were all well and working our way to Botanical Beach and the ride back. We had a happy time even though we had to deal with a lot of deepish mud. I have never run it that muddy. The lads,Jeff and Bob ran the whole trail in 7:55 We did it in 9:32. No major injuries, many wonderful views I waded through the Sombria river up to my hips and fried my camera! (time for an upgrade.)

Are you
tired of putting in the training hours but not really improving? Do you like
the idea of taking the guesswork out of your training? Have you ever
wondered what exactly to do with your heart rate monitor? This session is
designed to answer all of your questions about using training zones to make
your training more effective. The seminar will explain the physiology
Tuesday April 29, 2008
Start:
 Join the "Fools" (Karl Jensen, Chad Hyson, Gilles Barbeau and John Machray), friend of the Fools Lucinda Iglesias, STORMY 100-mile Run RD Wendy Montgomery, folks from Kintec Footlabs, Club Fat Ass, a few friends and curious for an evening of tales from the fringe of ultrarunning: the 100-miler.
The Fools claim to be absolutely normal, yet they run 100-milers... apparently on a whim. Isn't that an oxymoron? How do they do it? Why do they do it? Could you run 100-miles, too? Why might you want to?
There will be entertaining stories about long distance trail running, some more foolish than others, that will have you itching to lace up your trail shoes. Even if you rather have a root canal than run 100 miles, you'll appreciate the humour and insights into what makes these "fools" keep on going (and going, and going....) You'll also hear why running a 100-miler is the easy part when you learn what it takes to "crew" a 100-mile runner.

Given the current snow conditions on the local mountains (considerably more than during our first Adventure), I know that more than a couple of us are interested in knowing what lays in store for this year.
