On Sunday, I got up a little bit before Rebecca did to take a nice run before our mad day of running errands. With iPod loaded and clothing bound to keep me warm enough for the approximately five kilometer route, I was on my way towards the waterfront by Coal Harbour and into the park. That’s when I remembered seeing some signs about a charity run going on, but I couldn’t remember if it was Saturday or Sunday.
No big deal, but here are all these people running along, completely taking over the path that they were being led on. I did my best to avoid the congestion and stay out of their way, but coming back towards Lost Lagoon on the Tatlow trail, I had no choice but to join the group.
I wasn’t sure how far these people had ran already nor how far they were going. I just felt like such a jerk because here I was, passing everyone on their left without missing a beat. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught some people kind of giving that look of disbelief. How could they be getting passed? I was probably on kilometer 3.5 at that point. Then someone was trying to keep pace. I can only imagine how tired he or she must have suddenly felt when I went off to the left while the rest of the crowd ventured right.
Speaking of running, this site is a must have bookmark for anyone who is a runner in Vancouver. Thanks to vanmega.com for the link.
