You Had Me at Disco Water Station!

Day 30   Mile 4931
Vancouver, Canada
The word for today is, “DISCO.”
We’re settled into one of our favorite cities, Vancouver, and ready for two weeks of active fun. Our friend, Fred, is up visiting from Florida and we are participating in Vancouver’s annual PRIDE Run/Walk in Stanley Park.


Local runs are a great way to really see an area and learn about the residents and local businesses- all while getting exercise and having fun. Today is no different.  I’m used to large races so it was a fun & different experience to participate in a small (500 athletes!) event. A retired service dog in a pink shirt accompanied the race organizers as they readied the crowd. A Zumba warm-up session readied the runners. Along the course, it was great fun to visit the disco water stations. ‘Nothing like a little Olivia Newton-John and Pointer Sisters to add a bit of zip to your step.  If you got lost, you could just follow the trail of boa feathers along the path. Now, I think a hearty breakfast is in order! If I could only get “I’m So Excited” out of my head…
