Around the Olympic Peninsula in 3 months

Image
My virtual tour started Jan 1, 2011.  But I was running in the snow and rain, and even riding on a trainer.  I often wondered about going along this route for real.  The pictures speak a thousand words of Olympic Pennisula's beauty. La Push looks like a really nice place to visit the ocean. View Larger Map

The Ides of March Brings The Running Race Season.

So its mid march and over the last three months I started running and added a couple of goals to my 2011 bucket list.  The April Fools half marathon, the Sun Run and the Bare Bones Duo.  When I first started running in December after my first run, I couldn't walk for two days without wincing up the stairs.  I ran in the Resolution Run 10km and completed a 55min 10km.  I've hit the track once a week and run 4 days per week and cycle 2 days per week.  Anyway, I came down with this wicked flu/cold that sidelined me for 3 weeks and really affected my Duathlon at UBC, however I did pretty good with a 22nd place finished with a 22min/24min 5km split times.  My progress on running has come to fruition and I'm really enjoying it.  To date since January, I've run 229km and cycled 391km - 620km completed and time to start my virtual tour down into the states! ---WAB1234---
