I snuck out for an hour long jog today. Nothing too spectacular. In fact it was a little soggy out there. But these modest runs are always the backbone of any successful program.
On a more interesting note I have started to set out some of my training milestones.
Mid June – Run from Dundarave Village up to the highway, over to the Cypress Exit and all the way up to the ski lifts. It’s about 13.2 miles of straight up, lung busting exertion.
Late August – Running across Bermuda. I’ve worked most of my route out – I should be able to follow the old colonial train track trail that spans all 33 miles of Bermuda’s linked islands. The tricky bit is going to be figuring out the elevation shifts and finding my route for the urban centers where the train trail breaks off.
Mid-September – The goal is to run from Departure Bay up Vancouver Island till the Port Alberni highway turnoff, then over the mountain and into town. The run should be about 82km, and I’m going to try to run it with a backpack.
There will probably be a few more notable runs between now and fall, but this should be enough to get me started.
