After work, caught a bus to North Van in order to set a pace for myself for the Grouse Grind for this season. It was a bit overcast... doing the grind in those conditions actually makes for a kindoff surreal experience - the mountain pokes up into the clouds, which gives you the feeling you're walking through some Tolkein-esque enchanted forest... totally different experience from a few days ago. And I'm not gonna lie, I definitely appreciated the cooler temperature.
While Grouse was covered in clouds, Downtown was still getting some rays.. Actually made for a really neat effect. I didn't have my camera, but I managed to snap this shot on my phone:

Average HR: 182 bpm
Recovery: 13 mins
Energy: 1,499 kcal
