I'm about to start the Professional Legal Training Course (PLTC), which the British Columbia Law Society requires articling students to take before being admitted to the provincial Bar. It can generically be called the provincial "bar exam course."
Because I'm articling in Vancouver, I've decided to make the move to the mainland early and am now slowly getting settled in my basement suite in the city. The course begins on Tuesday and I really don't have a good feel for how much time and work it will be, although the box of readings that I just picked up might give me some indication. This makes my immediate race schedule a bit unpredictable. What I do know, is that I will be doing quite a few morning runs on the UBC trails, which are about a mile from my front door, before school. Afternoons and evenings will be reserved for readings and trips to the North Shore mountains for more rugged vertical and trail jaunts.
I just saw this video, (courtesy of Joe Grant) which captures the simplicity and beauty of "dawn patrol runs" perfectly. I agree that early mornings on the trail can have a meditative and at times spiritual feel to them, there's no better way to start the day. I'm looking forward to my morning sessions already:

I love dawn runs (especially in isolated areas). It's as if the world had been closed shut and was only now just opening up, for me in particular.
Moving out to UBC at the end of this month in anticipation of law school in the fall myself. Still coming to terms with leaving the NShore but I am also excited for the groomed trails out there (walk out my door to Pacific Spirit Park) and numerous trips to the north shore trails when time permits. Morning sessions sound perfect....Could learn a few things from a speedster like you
Well, I'm more into moonlight, but as each play with colours on the sky by the sun is more than beautiful everythings wonderful
stunning
Thanks y'all-
krystyna, hope you're managing your injury alright.
Adam, it's not a bad area at all and honestly, being close to school will help keep you sane. Although the Endowment Lands lack vertical, I really enjoy running in them and as you said, a great chance to work on footspeed which comes in handy for all types of races. Plus, the mountains aren't that far away.
Regina, I'm more of an afternoon/evening runner too, but sometimes morning runs are easier to fit into the day and are always worth the sacrifice.
Christoph, thanks for checking the site out.
