Rays of sunshine interrupted what should have been a dreary, grey and wet Saturday (if the last couple days of rain were any sign..). So when the sun comes out, so do the shutterbugs,..and so do the real bugs. Can u spot one here?

Having managed to do the Grouse Grind at 8+ times this past summer, i figured i might as well see how i stacked up against some competition, so i signed up for the GG Mountain Run. Of course, "run" is a bit of a misnomer since very few actually RUN up the side of a mountain. After a rather slower than usual start, i soon got off to a pretty good pace...although everyone was pretty much nose-to-arse pretty all the way up. There's no better motivation to go faster than by trying to chase or keep up with someone. By the last quarter, my lungs felt like they were burned to the third degree, and my calves were on the verge of cramping, but i pulled off a PB with a time of 46:41 -- A little ways off the winning time of 26:26... but I was still happy! And boy was the weather ever gorgeous!!! Until next year...check out the pics!

Has anyone seen those beams of light piercing the night sky towards Burnaby Mountain? Turns out that its coming from the AQ at SFU. I have this hunch that its part of their 40th Anniversary celebration ;-) I think the lights are pretty cool, and I managed to capture this photo on Sunday night (thanks to Mr. Canon Digital Rebel XT, a tripod, and a 30 second shutter!)
