James Cunningham Seawall Race 9.5K

It was sure a nice sunny day for a 9.5K run at Stanley Park. I think I finished in a good time considering that I almost backed out at the last minute due to a foot injury from the last 10K run in Richmond. Well, I am really sore now but I'm glad I did the race. Sometimes, things can be possible when you think it isn't. God was there to help me to get through this race. It was really an awesome scenic route to run around the Seawall which was my first time. I highly recommend it. Waves were really splashing high onto the walking path this morning due to strong winds. One almost got me but it did get a couple racers soaked!!!! The water from the waves got Ray's shoes wet. Please check out the race results on Race Headquarters website. There were a total of 1200 runners and I came in 811th overall with the time of 56:22mins (45th/82 in my age group). Ray came in strong at 126th overall with the time of 41:02mins (20th/56 in his age group which is the most competitive age group). We were also signed up as a couple and came in 14th/54. I was surprised and happy with our performance. Hopefully, I can do better next year.

Richmond Flatlands 10K Run



What a gray day!!! Ray and I still went out to the rain and ran 10K called the Richmond Flatlands. This was my 3rd 10K run and my time was 58:52 which was pretty consistent with my Turkey Trot 10K run last Mon. The rain sure didn't help and it was a challenging race for me. Check out my time at Winning Time website. You'll find me at 230th overall and 15th in my age group . Ray finished in 43:49 at 71st overall. Not bad, eh?? Right now, I need to recover from this race and be stronger for my next race.

Turkey Trot 10K Run


What a wonderful day for the 8th annual Turkey Trot 10K run!!! More than 1400 people participated in the race. I did my PB at 58:45 for my 10K run compared to the Vancouver Sun Run earlier this year at 69mins. I felt pretty good running this morning. I think the cool and sunny weather helped a lot. Check out the race results on how Ray and I did at the Winning Time website.

Cirque Du Soleil - Delirium

Another show to go to but this one will be even better! Cirque Du Soleil is playing tonight at GM Place. Will keep you all posted.


Back from the show. Delirium was a really spectacular show. I guess all Cirque Du Soleil shows are amazing. Lots of acrobatics, singing, dancing and gymnastics-style performances. Ku-do's to them!!! I only wished we were sitting close to the stage to see their energy and sweat rolling down from their faces like how we experienced Cirque Du Soleil - Mystere in Las Vegas. All in all, I still had a great time!!!

Back from the concert. Check out the Black Eyed Peas! It was a great show! The girls had so much fun. Well, Ray and I did too :)
