runners

This  Annual event expected to sell out within one week!  

I was just told about this event and was thought to myself I sure wish I was still running.  I have a million excuses  why I am not, among them being too heavy, not having the right sports bra (seriously) and running gear (who knows what Chip would have to say about me in his yoga pants!), having a lack of good iTunes, it being to cold outside, etc.  BUT I am going commit to running, walking/running or even just walking this event.  I’ve done heaps of halves before and have recently walked at least 21 km in a day. I’ve completed two sub-4 hour marathons as well so there has to be some muscle memory there (last was 9 years ago, yikes). Have I convinced myself ?  Yes I have!

I am working on a training schedule and perhaps I will see you on the trails and at this run/walk!  Sounds like a great weekend so register SOON or miss out!  Stay tuned on GLV for progress and whining.

Registration opens at 10:00am PST on February 3, 2014 at seawheeze.com. Entry fee is $128, inclusive of taxes and processing fees.Entering its third sweaty and colourful year, lululemon’s SeaWheeze half marathon and Sunset Festival is returning to Vancouver’s seawall August 23, 2014. Last year the 10,014 running spots sold out within the first month of registration. This year, organizers predict the 10,015 spots will be snapped up within one week.

In addition to 21.1 km of pavement-pounding fun, SeaWheeze weekend includes the official SeaWheeze Showcase Store, where runners can kit themselves out pre-race with limited edition clothing and accessories, as well as the post-race Sunset Festival at Brockton Oval, where both runners and the general public celebrate with a 10,000+ person yoga class, live concert and beer and wine garden in one of Vancouver’s premium outdoor concert venues.

Past headliners have included Fun! and Passenger. Sunset Festival tickets are $25 for the general public and are included in registration for runners.
