In August I traveled to Canada to uphold a tradition with Jay and Trevor - running the Squamish 50. Our course was 23km through a beautiful landscape over technical terrain with loads of elevation and descent. It's REALLY fun. I got up a few days early to spend time with the Ewings and camp with the boys.
Our time pre-race time was spent doing a shake-out run and swim at a lake with the Ewings....
walking in the forest....
camping in Squamish with the fellas...
bouldering under the Chief...
...and eventually, running the race. The race went really well.
I wasn't in the greatest shape this year....but this trip has never really been about executing fast times....it's all about spending time with your best friends in beautiful places.
In the days following the race, I spent time with Jay walking though forests -- sometimes talking and sometimes silent, enjoying a beer, eating sushi, playing with the kids, and celebrating all that is blessing!
These are good days!
