Running 3:30:00 [3]
Wanted to do a long run somewhere new so got out my Bruce Trail guidebook and selected Map 26. Did ESAR in this area last year but had never run it. Parked at Eugenia falls having first driven some extra water to where the trail crosses Graham's and Campbell's hill as I didn't want to treat any and knew I'd need more. Headed out in the direction of Hogg's Falls, wasn't in any hurry and there was lots of hiking due to the terrain. Had a nice little lunch break on top of the valley on the other side.
When I got to my water stop, I decided to head up Campbell's hill and back to the car...had hoped to go one crossover further but I had blisters developing on the back of both heels from some new shoes and stupidly had left the foot care kit I never run without in the pack I wore last Friday night.
Once I got back to Eugenia Falls I entertained many tourists by climbing into a pool at the top of the waterfall and lying in it for a few minutes to both cool and wash off. Only thing missing was a beer, but I took care of that with a stop to Neustadt brewery on the way home!
Gorgeous route and I'd love to go back and do one of the longer ones with some company as it would likely encourage me not to lolligag quite so much! Was out for 4 hours but deducted some time for said lolligagging.
FDFs and mosquitoes were out in full force!

Strength Training 30:00 [2]
Had meant to do this in the morning but a horrible sleep meant resetting the alarm and missing my pre-work opportunity. A reminder why I don't exercise close to bed...this made me wired!

Running 1:35:00 [3]
Met up with Stephania to explore a section of the Bruce starting at the Rockway Community Centre in Jordan. Early on we missed a turn and ended up wandering around river beds for about 20 minutes, so I didn't count that in the time! After a few circles, some head scratching, and a thorn incident where I got a taste of how a fish feels on a hook, we tried to trace our way back to our last known point and saw what we had done wrong. Ooops! Rest of the trail was nice but some sections not particularly runnable with slippy mossy covered rocks.
Had pizza lunch at a lovely cafe in Jordan afterwards.
Legs definitely still a bit fatigued from Friday.
