Well, today was the Vancouver Sun Run.  I ran.  I did not plan to run.

I had previous plans to be out of town for the weekend, but they fell through, so I never registered for the run. So, last night, I was chatting with my family, and everyone in my family except me had registered.  So, I thought, I wish I was running it!!  So, I joined them.  With about 53,000 people in the run, catching someone who wasn’t registered was not going to happen, so the only thing was that I won’t have my name in the paper tomorrow morning.

The Sun Run is Canada’s Largest Run, and it quite something to run with that many people.  Not the ideal race if you want to get a good time, simply because there are too many people.  But never the less, its a fun race.

Well, I learned two things today:  1: I am not in shape!! and 2: I need new runners.  The first one, will be hard…the second I think I can probably manage.  So!!  The challenge???  To get in shape!!  I’ll try and post regular updates on how this quest for fitness goes, and would encourage anyone to join me in the quest for fitness.  I encourage you to do this, because I have been quite fit at times, and know that life in general is that much better when you are in shape.
