New Years Run for our seniors!!!!! Amazing

Here we are for the “Resolution Run” on New Years Day. As both Ann & I are still injured we ignored the clock * just enjoyed ourselves but oh boy! Ice on the North side of the seawall & slow going. Sun was shining down on us & we had a great time! As usual our faithful “shutter bug” June, out freezing her butt off waiting for us to finish!
We have both decided (Ann & me) the 1/2 marathon May 1 is a go. We registered early. Now the rehab/training begins in earnest! Did you know Ann has done 13 marathons & 1/2? She started at age 70. Me? only a 1/2 - 23 yrs ago! It’s time!! I have actually been injured since Nov 18 & trying now to rehab & heal slowly with NO long distances.

Klahowya Village in Stanley Park

Today a small group (5 of us) went to Stanley park.  All were welcome but not many signed up.  Two persons cancelled last minute.  This was a free day & time to spend with friends and discover this native village.  I (Laurette) have already been here twice but I was the leader and had this excursion arranged since the spring.  The Bonus was not just visiting the park but seeing performances, art and story telling that I had not known about in the spring. 
We brought snacks and as well able to purchase food if needed.  Beautiful day, sunny and warm.  Got to love these sunny days.
Afterwards four of us continued walking along Lost Lagoon and finishing at English Bay.  Afterwards we all set off for home, shopping or where we wanted to go. We set off 10am & by 2pm heading home.

Everyone is welcome.  Show up at the lounge at 10:15am and we are off to the park by 10:30.
Today was sunny but OMG was it windy as you all know we are having high winds today.  But we still went and had fun.
