Dear Hilary Trotman,The 10 km Vancouver Sun Run will take place on Sunday April 15, 2007 at 9 am. The results of the race will be published on the daily newspaper "Vancouver Sun". I am doing my training every other day around my neighbourhoods. I have a few routes for my practise run that I do alternately each time. It is about 6 km distance that takes me 45-50 minutes to complete, mostly by running and walking. I am passing by 3 neighbourhood parks on all the routes and do stretching exercises in 1 or 2 of those parks. I try to choose the routes through residential and avoid the car's fumes from the main road. But unfortunately for 5 minutes back and forth I have to run beside the main road. I am really all set to Go!
Here I attached a couple of photos of locations that I pass each time on my run.

(Top photo) Coming back on the home stretch, I will pass a parking lot of a Community College that now has been turned into a construction zone. The parking lot is slated for expansion to the Community College with a 6 story tall building. The existing College are the 2 buildings shown at the back. I usually stop at the site and do stretching exercises on the pedestrian look-out provided, whilst watching all the activities there. I am always fascinated by construction activities.
