This was an interesting run. I got caught up in a meeting and noticed the clock was 5 minutes past 12.
I quickly checked outside and everyone was ready to go. I did have a moment of thought where I could back out, settle into my chair and close my eyes for a moment however that’s not an option. I just know how much better I will feel after I get some exercise and it’s so much fun hanging out with this crew I just couldn’t back out.
I said that they should start and I’ll change quick and catch up to the pack. I didn’t think that I would be that long, however….I had to SPRINT a couple KM to get to the pack.
I kept wondering where they were at and if they took a different route because I was literally sprinting in Zone 3 HR solid and could not find anyone for 20 minutes. I was also in full compression head to toe so I wasn’t lollygagging.
FAST! That group is quick. I caught up with them 1/2 way through the run.
Of course we have Torsten at the front with a trail of fire behind him.
he's a blur!
Hanna and Bonnie looking strong
strong ladies!
Super Mary with a steady pace that made me gasp today. She’s a machine! She’s so amazingly bright my eyes had to shut for this picture.
Super Mary!
RAIN OR SHINE!
Super troopers!
We have a very dedicated group. There was some talk about the weather but everyone mentioned they were ready to run. Torsten had the best comment “There is no such thing as bad weather – there is just wrong clothing!!”
Torsten running fast
Here’s Torsten at the front with the fast pack! He’s rocking it! We also had Erica join the group which was incredible. She’s such an inspiration.
We did our usual route down 7th to the seawall. Saw some other runners, coast guard monitoring the waters near the Olympic village and a lot of smiling faces.

I think the trooper of the day award goes to Ron who came out running after being out of sport for a while. He kept up with the medium paced group with great effort! A side stitch happened 1/2 way through but he took care of himself and was still positive and we had a great time on the way back. He’s got some amazing stories.
I get really charged with this running group, always learning something new, such a positive atmosphere and our VP of Sales came out Scott! He’s a fast runner and brought a lot of high energy to the group which was amazing. Super excited to see him out there.
1/2 way done
If anyone would like to join us meet out front of SUGOI at 144 East 7th Ave at noon every Wednesday rain or shine. We would be happy to run or walk with you!
See you next Wednesday!
Sometimes things don’t go to plan due to schedule, misscommunication, weather.
When things don’t go our way or to plan it’s easy to bail out on a workout. I learned today that when things don’t go to plan you should still make the most of it. That’s what Hanna, Alex, Andrea and myself did today.
group support!
We took on the park, did our workout, supported one another and had a great time. The sun was shining and we had smiles on our faces. There was a moment where we could have turned around and walked to our favorite pizza place but we stayed focused and made up our own workout routine. We were laughing, sweating and had a great time. We also feel like we had accomplished what we set out for. That is the greatest feeling and that’s what keeps me moving forward.
START
AND HERE WE GO!
getting ready
Wednesdays at noon we start at SUGOI. Run down 7th to Heather and down to the seawall and back. We have a pretty amazing group! Your choice if you would like to come on out for an hour or a half hour.
there's Maggie!
Such a great day and a great turnout. We had a fast running group up front, middle pace group and a walking pace. Everyone had a great time. It’s a great chance for everyone to unwind, get some exercise, clear the mind and bond with one another. I know that it helps me in the day, plus I have so much fun hanging out with everyone.
watch out for the fast pack!
If anyone would like to join you are more than welcome! Every Wednesday out front of SUGOI at noon.
The more the merrier, let’s all BE INCREDIBLE!
SUGOI STRONG!
I’d like to hear stories on how you have inspired others.
I’m doing the best I can to be a positive role model for my daughter, living each day to be proud of myself. Trying to make every effort one to better the world and everything in it. I do feel that I need more creative down time. I’m still working on that balance but I’m making an effort daily on how I can help others and hopefully be inspirational to someone. Even something that may seem trivial, one action can make an impact on someones life or help inspire them to do something great.
What have you done, something that made you feel as if you had inspired someone, did something to help someone else out through a challenge or life lesson. Tell me your story. The more we share together the more we can inspire and learn.
I had an opportunity to meet someone pretty amazing right in our SUGOI neighborhood. I heard that the Olympic torch was featured at the Mt.Pleasant newly set up recreation center and went over there to check it out. I saw a man standing with the torch offering free pictures, answering questions about the torch and showing the burn marks on the metal from where the flame was. He was in full gear head to toe showing Canadian spirit but is working for a much greater cause.
Pat Brand is raising funds for his Ride to Conquer Cancer journey. He talked about how cancer has affected his family and a realization of how many people are affected all over the world. There isn’t a family that doesn’t have stories of lives taken and have struggled from this disease. Mine included.

Wednesdays @ noon!
I’ve gathered a great group of SUGOI people together to get out and exercise at noon on Wednesdays. Your choice if you want to run up front at a steady/fast pace for an hour, in the middle with a moderate pace for 30mins to one hour or come and hang out in the back of the bus and walk for 20-40 mins! Whatever you choose it will be fun! Some of the staff will be training for the 10K and the Sun Run marathon. Feel free to train with them at your pace!
We will all meet out front of SUGOI at noon on Wednesdays. 144 East 7th Ave. Our office isn’t open to the general public so we will all meet outside.
If you would like to sign up for our newsletters or sign up to regularly run with us we have a sheet to add your name/email. I’ll keep you posted on any great SUGOI deals and JANE updates!
These run/walk sessions will be documented by myself with video, pictures and I may interview one or all of you. Everything will be posted on the JANE site on Thursdays. If you would like to walk/run but don’t want to be filmed or interviewed just let me know and I’ll make sure to not interfere.
We only have a few weeks before SUGOI moves to North Burnaby so let’s have some running/walking fun in Vancouver while we still can!
I’ll be out there on Wednesday Feb 10th and I hope to see you there!
LET’S BE INCREDIBLE!
