As I mentioned earlier - I love running on vacation - here is a summary of one of my favorite runs from our Alaska Cruise - The Vancouver Stanley Park Seawall run.
The morning started at 5:30 am when Alice woke up and came into the bedroom. Considering the time change I was happy she slept until 5:30 am and my alarm was set for 5:45am to get up for my run so I wasn’t going to complain. I got dressed to go for my run. I started with my running skirt, short sleeve shirt and long sleeve shirt figuring it was cooler than it was. I walked outside and it was already warm so I turned around and went back to the room and left the long sleeve shirt behind. It was a few minutes after 6am when I got started on my run. I headed out along the seawall towards Stanley Park.
When I got to the park I could see the 2 cruise ships that were in port today arriving. There was a HAL and Celebrity Cruise ship today. I continued along the seawall stopping for a few pictures along the way. The following are some highlights of Stanley Park. I could have spent a lot of time exploring Stanley Park but I settled for a great run.
Success - 9.25 miles in less than 2 hours - perfect long run training pace, especially when you add in picture taking time. I even got in a little bit of a hill workout. What a great way to start off a vacation.
