Jon took us on a really great route today. I felt terrible that I was 15′ late for this morning’s run! I think he forgave me though as I think this was the first time I have ever been late by more than a minute or two. I WILL be on time now without fail for another year.  We left from the lakes and ran through the Tech Park over to Camosun then took Hector Rd to a connector trail to Prospect Lake Rd. Another connector trail got us on to Charlton Rd. From here I was lost as it was all new route for me….Granville Ave to Hastings St all the way to Interurban Rd. Wilkenson to Glyn Rd which led us back to the trails heading back to Layritz Park. Markham St to W Saanich to Royal Oak to Pipelineback into the parking lot at the lakes. Follow any of that? Think I didn’t use my Garmin map for every sentence of that route description?

I am getting excited about running the Ekiden! It looks like I might be taking the last 7.5km leg of the race. I cannot wait to see Tokyo and hope some of the others on the team will want to do some exploring there! The other team members are Steve Osaduik, Reid Coolsaet, Richard Mosley, Dylan Wykes , Denise Robson, Megan Metcalfe and Malindi Elmore. How exciting and crazy that this little wiener will be running with such incredible athletes!!
