Saturday May 19, 2012 Trail Run

Another wonderful Saturday morning on the trails. This time, Karen, Gary and I set out from SilverCity Tillicum, and ran on the paved trails to Thetis Lake Park, where we met up with the rest of the group at 8:00am. From there we ran a 12km route, out to Francis/King via Trillium trail, Seaborn Trail, McKenzie Creek trail, panhandle and the lower ridge trail to the nature house. We returned via the unnamed connector trail back to the panhandle trail, then Trillium trail and the "rollercoaster" trail at the east end of the lake. Karen, Gary and I ran back to Tillicum. For some reason my watch was switched off, so most of the return run to Tillicum is missed on the GPS. Actual length of run from Tillicum and back is 24km.

2012 Trail Running - Tillicum and Thetis

Still working on recovery runs after Boston Marathon. This is a run on the Galloping Goose trail from Thetis and into Thetis Park, then a run on the trails along Thetis Lake and out in the park area west of the lake. About 40 minutes return from Tillicum to the main parking lot at Thetis Lake, and then about an hour and 4 minutes on the trails in the park.

2012 Trail Running - Elk Lake

Our first trail run for this year - an easy mostly flat 1 hour run on the trails at Elk Lake. Amazingly muddy for the time of year, but then it has been a very wet spring in Victoria.

2012 Boston Marathon Route

The 2012 Boston Marathon from my GPS watch. Beautiful course, fantastic people - just too hot this year.
