Today was hard. It was great elevation gain and loss, there was allot of snow and ice as I ran into the incredible Manning Park 

I had no chains on my feet. 

1282 m above sea level 

 Now the roads in manning were very interesting. It was lots of tight windy blind turns. The roads were covered with black ice, sloppy side's of the road where the plows pushed over the snow. So I was running in some pretty thick snow slosh on the side. It made the run a little difficult. 


However I had a great moment when I headed into this accident. Now I am feeling great there was an accident. What was amazing was here I was busting my butt up and down these mountains. My feet are cold and wet, I have been sprayed with that nice mix of melted snow, snow, salt and bit's of road. So I am heading down this tight turn. and there is an accident. 


There where all sorts of people down on the seen, pictures, road crews, tow driver, ambulance, etc. Well as I got close they all started cheering me on. Not only cheering but cell phones popped out and the guy by the white truck who was video taping the accident, turned his camera on me. 

I think it was 2 minutes of my 5 minutes of fame 

That's me way down there. 

Very icy road. 

The Run To Remember Mobile's

Banff Baby!! 

We drove ahead quite a distance at the end of the run to Melissa's parents house. Where we parked the motorhome. I got to meet her family and her nephews. We will be here for a couple of days. It was long day.
