Five runners turned out Monday evening. Edie, Laura, Leo Liu, Rod (returned from Florida and Jamaica) and Bobtoc ran west, facing a stiff and cold wind. Since Bobtoc ran 19 k Saturday, Edie 16 k Sunday, Laura returned after several days due to a bad cold and Rod had not run for two weeks, the five ran only to Broadway and Underhill. The hoped for tailwind did not occur, so the five ran back under …

From Rod and Pat in Jamaica; Greetings from Kingston Jamaica. All is going well and we moved to Kingston today to meet the last cousin, after a wonderful time on the North Coast. Temps about 84, good wine and beer. Haven’t been too close to computers, as this is really a 3rd world country and we couldn’t connect the ipod and iPhone. Heading back to Miami on Thurs and then home on Friday. Will be …

Laura and Larry, taking advantage of perhaps the best night of the year, no joke – clear, not too cold, slight breeze – did a good-pace run from the Centre on Yee Old IGA Trail and back, time out 1hour 10 minutes, distance 9.5 km. We were wondering where others were, but after factoring for injuries, travel, and breaks from Sunday’s Langley Historic runs, we concluded that most people did have valid reasons for being …

Monday: Two cruisers, Rene and Rod braved the +5 conditions to do the 7km Forest Grove in 48 minutes. The Maui people declined to run in such cold conditions even though they did come out to see us at the beginning, along with a welcome visit from Adele. Nine Cruisers met at and ran from the Centre Wednesday evening on which the temperature was comfortable, even for the Kihei Cruisers, and the weather dry. Tracy, …

This was Alex’s second run of the day ( See Len’s report below). What a way for Alex to bring in the Chinese New Year of the Dragon. We had two Dragons on the run tonight, Rod and Rene. It was great to run without worrying about …
