Howe Sound Crest Trail! This was pretty much the only day all summer that Kate and I could do it. We started at about 6:40am. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty foggy all the way, so we weren't rewarded with the famed spectacular views. I think I'd hike up to the Lions again sometime to see what we missed. We did get to see the most spectacular blue lake though!

I was feeling pretty good until about 8 hours or so. Doing an extra peak by mistake definitely took a toll. My feet and toes really started to ache for the last few hours making the last portion, which was entirely descent, quite painful. I need different shoes if I'm going to do something like this again. Some serious mental toughness training!

I had more than enough stuff, but felt like we did not underestimate the hike. Parts of it were very technical, and I'm glad the rocks weren't wet despite the fog. Feels like an accomplishment though!

Run along the Sea Wall. First 3.2km was easy, last 1.8km was at a slightly faster pace. Nice sunny day out!

Biking to and from a friend's birthday party. Google says the route was mostly flat, but I think that's a lie.

Easy jog on the treadmill to warm up.

Weights at the gym. Squats, lat pull down, planks, bench press, flys, lunges, seated row, single leg dead lifts. My forearms holding the dumb bells definitely get fatigued first.

Run around False Creek. It was pretty hot out for the time of day. Felt a little tired but glad I got out.

Squats, lunges, jumping jacks, crunches, plank, and some push ups (but wrist was not happy even when doing knuckle push ups).
