Vernon - Revelstoke (Day 89)

My day started in Vernon after the lunch celebration. The weather was great and we started with a wonderful group of Special Olympians carrying the torch. As we made our way through the smaller communities, it never ceased to amaze me to see how many people came out and cheered on the flame and Canada. The torch was even carried on a houseboat!

As for the night celebration, it was nice to enter Revelstoke on a clear night, with sub-zero temperature and snow on the ground, which made it feel like the winter Olympics! We were greeted by a great crowd. I ran a total of 18 km today and it was a great day for it. I'll be on the morning running team tomorrow.





Carpe Diem
