On Friday night, Nancy and I enjoyed a fund raising event at the Vancouver Aquarium - all thanks to tickets from Mercedes-Benz who were a main sponsor. The event was great fun with local wineries and restaurants offering their product for tasting. Although, it felt slightly wrong eating fish and chips in an aquarium with the live fish staring back at you.... maybe that was just me.As you can imagine, at this sort of event an auction was par for the course. The main prize was an Olympic torch that was used on day two of the current torch relay across Canada. I seized the opportunity to have my photo with this torch and we even considered bidding for the item. However, when the price went past $2000 it proved too high for us, eventually selling for $2500.
The rest of the weekend was enjoyably spent in Victoria with Bob, Wendy and the other Scott as Bob reached the grand age of 68. Couldn't quite fit 68 candles onto his cake though. Nancy and I also went along to see Salmon spawning in a local river, which proved fascinating as there were thousands of fish heading upstream. Nature at its best!

1.65K thats shameful. Time to step up your game Scott.
Cant believe it!! 10.24Km in a faster time than when I was in DC and on a more Hilly route. It feels great and I am sure that when I swallow my lungs again I will be able to breath. All joking aside, it feels great.
Hey mate - great running, very impressed with the speed and distance. Looks like there is a real challenge on now. My nike sensor has issues and need to recalibrate as it thinks Im doing half the distance Im actually doing.
GET IN! Broke 8km round the Seawall. Back on track with this challenge
Good Job, Need to share your details on nike+ website. I get updates about K & R's runs but not yours. Keep it up!
Shaved a minute off of my 10k time, I am not sure whether doing 10km regularly is recommended I have looked at a few websites but nothing really said about it. Any advice guys?
My advice is to buy Scott a leotard and a tutu!
I'M ANNOYED! Just did exactly 5km according to the local Running Room Store and my nike sensor thinks its 3.64km. I DID 5KM IN 27 MINS!! Grr...
I know what you mean! I just did 16k run and it said 10.2km Grrr. Excuses excuses!!! You can calibrate!
