Special thanks this year to Penny Graham of our Kerrisdale Office for logistics at the Georgian Court Hotel and the William Tell Restaurant and to Lynn Hsu and Macdonald Realty for once again sponsoring our winning team!

             …and to each and every one of our Macrealty Team Members who participated in this year’s Sun Run:

Congratulations and thank you for making Macrealty Team 2006 our best ever!! 

Here's the Greater Vancouver weather forecast for Sunday, April 23rd:

Perfect conditions for the Sun Run! Enjoy your race!

Here are a few helpful hints to make your race day even better:

	Read the Race Day Information Booklet that’s in your race package. It’s full of helpful stuff. Page 19 shows you where to go to assemble for the start.
	Get there early. There are close to 50,000 participants registered to date and many of them would like to finish the race before you. To keep them behind you, get down to your start area as early as you can and get as close to the front of your starting zone as possible. Yes, it’s an electronically timed (chip) race, but trying to pass through a massive herd of joggers in the first few kilometers isn’t going to help your race time.
	You don’t have to wear your Macrealty T-Shirt. It’s a souvenir, not a piece of running apparel. You’ll be more comfortable in something that’s designed for running.
	Don’t start too fast. Races are won in the last kilometer, not the first.
	Pass those people wearing Colliers T-shirts. They’ve won the Division four times, we’ve won five, and they’d love to even the score. Let’s make it 6 – 4, not 5 – 5!!
	Have fun! Join us for the Post-Race Brunch festivities at the William Tell Restaurant, there’s still room for you!

11 Weeks to Race Day – Start Your Training Now!

Joining us for the first time or want to improve your 10K race time? Whether you jog or run, an 8 – 10 week program is ideal for 10K training.

MacRealty team members are spread from Vancouver Island, across the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley and even some are from the Okanagan, so it is difficult to for us to have organized team training events. However, if you are training individually or in a local group, there are several good options.

The Vancouver Sun Run organizers offer an excellent InTraining program. This supportive group program is for novice through intermediate level runners and is designed to make your training both fun and effective. Running specialty stores such as the Running Room and Forerunners also offer running clinics geared to events such as the Vancouver Sun Run.

If you are a more experienced runner looking for improved race times there are a number of good on-line training programs. One that we can highly recommend is Hal Higdon’s InterActive Training Program.

So lace up those running shoes and good luck with your training!
