BTW, Vancouver had a nasty storm last fall that felled a significant number of huge old trees in Stanley Park closing one section of the path. On the detour I ran "through" one felled tree whose diameter equaled my height! It must have been one serious chainsaw that cut that one!!

Too bad about the trees. I hate to think of such a magnificent creature comming to an end. But Dad, what a great week you had. CONGRATS! Do you feel any effects from that mileage? and here I thought that a 30 mile week sounded like a big number.

Dad-
great running. You had some speed going on in that Striders workout!
I too am sad about the trees.
