California Dreamin'


No TWW this week. CIM'ers are tapering. Everyone else should be re-energizing &/or re-building.

The early winter schedule will likely include a Tue. night track workout at UBC and the usual Sat. am.(9:30) workout/tempo in Stanley Pk. So if you're into getting a head start you could plan to meet with others to do either/both of these.

She may be just Kirsten to some of you but she's always been & always will be special to me.

Sunday Update

Hi all, just quick update for those of you I haven't spoken to directly, but are still thinking of coming to help me out with moving tomorrow.....we are not going to do the run/brunch thing. So, if you were planning to come, just show up for 1pm. Thanks, Dylan. p.s. if a middle aged lady with dark hair happens to pop out of nowhere and asks who you are helping move, just tell her Geoff. :)

Sunday - Lifting

Richard mentioned a week or two back that I may need some help moving out of my apartment. If anyone is around on Sunday and could lend a hand that would be great. Richard will arrive with the moving van around 1pm. If people are interested in meeting for a run from here, along jericho/spanish banks, before hand let me know. We could also go for breakfast at Sophies (on 4th) after the run. If there is interest in the run/breakfast before the move we could meet at 10? If not, just show up for 1pm, if you are free.

The address is 2090 W 1st Ave, Apt #303. Corner of W 1st ave and Arbutus.

p.s. If you're running the marathon you're not allowed to lift anything. So, you can come hangout if you want, but we don't need anyone getting injured 1 week before the race.

The 2 worst years at CIM weather wise:
2001 - Winner - Bruce Deacon(CAN) [snow/sleet]
1987 - Winner - Peter Maher(CAN) [heavy rain/wind]

Bruce's mantra during the race "I'm a duck, I'm a duck, I'm a duck"

It's that time of year to switch from Yogurt to Oatmeal for breakfast.


The winter rains & temps. have come! It's been a good fall though, so no complaints.
<-----TWW & LWM---->
Also, a heads up to anyone willing to help load up DylanW's stuff into a moving van on Nov.28(Sun.). He'll be moving out of his Kits pad & I don't want him lifting anything 7 days before the marathon.

Sunday Post-workout Plans

For those of you interested we are going to hit up the Marina Grill tomorrow after the workout for some brunch.

Following that we are all invited to Richard Lee's to watch the tape delayed coverage of the NYC marathon (he is going to PVR it).

Some of you are probably going to try to watch as much as you can before leaving for the workout and/or receive updates during & after the workout (via iPhone or whatever). But, some of us don't want to know anything until we watch at Richard's. So, if you can please be kind enough to not talk about the results (or anything you know about the race) at the workout or brunch that would be great.

See you all tomorrow
