one other masters’ male runner
and coming in ahead of all open
and masters’ category female
runners. Master’s division for
men is 40 years and over, while
for women it’s 35 and over, Ed’s
time of 35:44 was about one
minute off his usual early sum-
mer 10 km times but he was
pleased with it nevertheless be-
cause it’s so early in the racing
season.

The next out-of-town race for
Ed is the Vancouver Sun Run in
mid-April. This run will likely
attract over 16,000 runners and
walkers. It will be the largest
race Ed has ever entered. Weath-
