Happiness

Pacific Spirit Park, one of my favourite places to run. 750 hectares of beautiful forested trails shared amongst runners, dog walkers, cyclists and horseback riders. It's great for year round running, has some hills for repeats, not much for technical rocks and roots but great aesthetic trails nonetheless. I have been coming here for years as it's great for dog walks and getting in a longer run with variety that I can't do near home. It's still only a 15 minute drive from home so I can't complain. Yesterdays run was about 3 hours, did about 700 m of elevation gain, nothing huge but it was just a nice fun run. My half way point was Locarno Beach where it over looks North and West Vancouver and views into downtown. I felt good, didn't go crazy and kept about a 6min/km pace for the 3 hours. Had a good stretch post run and best of all a nice massage from my wife that night :)
