Run – UVic / Oak Bay – Victoria, BC

It’s almost hump day, also known as Wednesday. Tonight I went out for an 8.5km run pretty close to home, namely UVic and Uplands. There were actually quite a few other runners out there, bike commuters too, but they don’t count. I’m not sure, but I think I might have actually had a few moments where I was enjoying the run rather than thinking about when it would be over. Am I becoming a runner? Too soon to tell I’m afraid.

So You Think You Can Run

No I’m not a huge fan of “So you think you can dance”, but have been known to watch it on occasion. Damn, now my secret is out.

If there were Victoria tryouts for the fictitious “So you think you can run” in the near future and I tried out I would be one of those people who is told that they suck. Ok, maybe I don’t suck that bad, but I sure wouldn’t make it to Vegas. I’m not sure why I was thinking about SYTYCD while running this afternoon, just one of those things I guess.

Besides SYTYCD, I was thinking that we have some dandy greenways and parks in this city. I passed through and nearly out at Cattle Point, Uplands Park, Mystic Vale at UVic, Henderson Park, and a little park along Bowker Creek off of Richmond. They were all cool, especially Mystic Vale. I think I do pretty well with discovering hiking spots, but I have basically only been in the “lovely” Mystic Vale three times since moving to Victoria six years ago – lame.
