False Creek

I've decided to keep a journal of my runs if for no one else's entertainment but my own. I'll chronicle my daily runs and all things related.

So, yesterday. First run in a long time that I felt completely injury free. I've been suffering some shin splints in the left leg recently. It started after taking 10 days off, so I'm thinking that it's not running related. I've been doing some ab exercises that put some pressure on the shins so this may be the problem. I'm gonna lay off the exercises for a while and see what happens. Regardless, yesterday felt good.

Started at Granville and 59th to Ontario, then north to Science World and around False Creek on the "Seaside" seawall (Plaza of Nations, David Lam Park, etc) to the Burrard st. bridge, over the bridge onto Cornwall to Cypress (Cypress bike route), south on Cypress to King Ed, King Ed to Marguerite, Marguerite to 57th, and 57th east to Granville.

For future reference, I'm gonna call this run "False Creek". I like this run a lot. The old houses along Ontario are great, especially around Mt. Pleasant. I never used to like "old" houses until recently. Over the course of my running, I watched some being restored and they look great.

Lee, my brother, is running Boston today. He should be setting out in half an hour. Very exciting. I'd love to see him finally break 3 hours....especially at Boston. They're broadcasting it on OLN, so maybe we'll get a glimpse of him.
