  • Two Cove Run

    Two Cove Run
    Nov 30 2025
    On a bright, sunny Sunday morning, I headed out solo for my Two Cove Run with a goal of burning 600 calories. I covered 6.98 km in just over an hour of running time, holding an easy, steady pace of 9:17 per kilometre. My heart rate stayed comfortably controlled, averaging 121 bpm and peaking briefly at 140. I spent most of the run in Zone 2 and Zone 3, keeping the effort aerobic and relaxed. I finished feeling great and nearly hit my calorie target with 582 burned.

    Learning from the forest
    I went for a solo run in the Forest of Fun and let the trail pull me into its cool, green quiet. I moved past the rushing creek and noticed how swollen the water looked after the recent storm. I ran by the Douglas Weir signs and paused just long enough to read about storm surges and rain-garden projects. The mix of forest sounds and fast water kept me focused and steady on the climb. By the time I finished, I felt refreshed and grounded from being out there.

  • Lohbrunner Pond Run

    Lohbrunner Pond Run
    Nov 23 2025
    I headed over Mount Douglas and down toward Lohbrunner Pond for an easy Sunday outing with a baggie of brown rice in my pocket. My legs settled into a relaxed rhythm, most of the run sitting comfortably in Zones 2 and 3. The trails were calm and cool, and by the time I reached the pond the ducks were already circling the little landing, waiting to see what I had brought. I fed them by the water’s edge under the cedars, enjoying that quiet pause before jogging home. All told, it was 8.66 km of steady effort, a great-feeling run with a simple mission accomplished.

    Somewhat Discombobulated!, Workout to burn 600 caloriesI headed out feeling a bit scattered, but the trail settled me down quickly. I moved through all five heart-rate zones as I covered just under 6 km in a little under an hour. My pace stayed easy and steady, even when a few harder surges pushed me toward the top of my range. By the end, I had burned just over 600 calories and found a comfortable rhythm. I finished feeling great, glad I showed up for the effort.

  • Harrop to the South Ridge Trail.

    Harrop to the South Ridge Trail.
    Nov 16 2025
    I headed out for a quick push from Harrop up toward the South Ridge, keeping it sharp and efficient.
    The climb hit hard and fast, proving once again that the shortest line to the summit is always the steepest.
    I held an average cadence of 56 and kept my effort steady through the tight bends.
    I covered just over five kilometres with nearly two hundred metres of climbing.
    By the time I wrapped it up, the whole thing had become a compact, punchy fifty-one-minute burner.

  • Blenkinsop trail run

    Blenkinsop trail run
    Nov 12 2025
    I started recording my trailer video at the BlenkinsopTrail sign and began hiking uphill after a bit of running along Blenkinsop Road. The trailer captures the first climb as I transition from running to power hiking, giving viewers a steadier view. I mention that the footage is handheld and that I’ll soon need to put the phone away to avoid cracking the screen on the rough trail. Before ending, I turn the camera on myself to say goodbye and remind viewers to watch for the Blankens Up Trail Run, Zone 4. I accidentally start another short video while trying to take a photo, adding a bit of bonus footage as I continue climbing.

  • Doumac Park Trail

    Doumac Park Trail
    Nov 9 2025
    Doumac Park Run After e-biking along the Lochside Trail, I kicked off the run segment of my ride-run-ride session at Doumac Park. It was a relaxed 1.58 km in just over fifteen minutes — mostly Zone 2 and 3 effort, steady and smooth. My heart rate hovered around 119 bpm, peaking briefly at 146 as I picked up the pace. The morning felt great — calm legs, good rhythm, and a clear head. A small loop, but another link in the chain of active, creative days on the trail.
