Vancouver Marathon expo
The Vancouver marathon expo was.... average. There were some cool features and booths, and package pick up was excellent and fast. Could have used more selection, but that is always true...
Arrived in Vancouver
In Vancouver now, starting with a dim sum breakfast at Sun Sui Wah. Dim sum is a great pre pre race breakfast.

Run of the Week - 72 Laps at Servus Place
Last Sunday I ran my longest run so far this year, 12 miles, all indoors at Servus Place. It ended up being 72 laps, not quite as many as the 95 I did at the YMCA the other week but each lap was longer, of course. I walked one lap half way through and drank part of a gatorade, which I think helped me hold up better than previous long runs too. My average heart rate over the whole run was 161, the pace (for each mile) was 10:52/11:02/9:51/9:19/8:46/8:34/11:26/9:36/9:12/8:41/8:32/10:12.
I'm still not sure if I'll run long again Sunday, if I do I might hit Commonwealth again, to complete the indoor long run circuit?

Training Update - Month 3
This month's training took a bit of a poor turn. My distance pretty much flat lined and two of the weeks (and this current week) I only ran 4 days a week. On the plus side, twice I did 5 mile hill runs (3X) on Wednesdays and I increased my long run duration all the way up to 11 miles, and hopefully 12 miles this weekend. Time to lock down in the final month and try to get back up to at least 5X a week, or maybe 6X. I'm not sure if I should run 14 miles for a long run the weekend after this one, or start to trim it down, I'll have to decide pretty soon...

In other news, I've run over 200 miles this year, if I pick up my mileage over the summer months it would be sweet to try to get over 1000?
