Mini update.
Managed a modest city-centre plod around the Vancouver Convention Centre last week, around half an hour, pausing to snap shots of the sun rising behind the dock cranes. The knee didn't much enjoy the hard pavements, swelling and moaning for a day or so afterwards. I rested up.
This week I've knocked out a run every other day, culminating in a 3.2 kilometre, hilly slog up the racecourse, down Sweder's Hill and back up along the bridleway. Such slippery fun! We've endured a lot of rain in recent days and the trails were short on traction.
I recorded the effort via Runkeeper, the simple iOS app on my iPhone. it seems to do a job, though I've yet to interrogate the data for anything as interesting as elevation.
Amended: ah, here we are. Not quite P2P, but still ...
More of the same this week. The Moyleman looms large, a wider field this year, though perhaps not the numbers I'd hoped for. 30 have signed up (and paid) in 48 hours from a list of 106 pre-registered. I have meetings with Harveys brewery (finishers' area) and Circa Events (caterers) on Monday. We're about to cough up GBP 800 for medical cover, and we (as organisers) are insured, though the waiver should take care of most potential legal problems.
Marshals' tabards, runner numbers and foil blankets are ordered.
Two weeks today we'll be in the pub looking back on it all.
