Sun Run!

 

Photo thanks to Sue!

We made a quick trip to Vancouver so Leo could run the Sun Run 10 km.

It was rainy all weekend so we didn't do any outdoor activities.  We stayed with our friends and went with them to watch their daughter play recreational hockey on Friday night.  It was a nail biter but they won!

The next night we watched their son-in-law in his recreational curling finals.  They did not win and it was not a nail biter, but we were much warmer watching from the bar.

It was still raining Sunday morning so Leo ran in his fashion-statement garbage bag.  We walked down to Burrard Street to watch him run by.  We got to watch the masses pour off the Burrard Street Bridge.

He came in 3682th out of 25,322 runners.


More impressively, he came in 6th in his age class, not too shabby.

We weren't there at the finish line, but fortunately we can steal photos off the internet.

Victory!


Somewhere along the route the garbage bag came off.

Leo had a singing gig on Monday so after the race we hopped in the car and Leo drove us all the way home.
Thanks to Sue and Ken for being excellent hosts as usual.
