Running 2:14:00 [3]
Lovely morning run with Bash at Hockley, doing all the side trails on the first side of the loop, followed by a Black Birch lunch, which, let's face it, is half of what gets me out to Hockley in the first place!
It was great to catch up with Bash, hear all about Lavaredo, and get a longer run in.

Cycling 1:00:00 [3]
Mrs. Tiny and I had plans to meet up for a Friday night ride at Puslinch, followed by dinner at the Old Marina, which is pretty much my favourite way to spend a Friday night. Only problem was that Mrs. Tiny found out her bike needed some work! Instead, she ran and I biked. We weren't sure how this was going to work out but with her pushing her pace and the twisty singletrack back there, it worked out just fine. I joked that it would be funny for me to yell motivational things at her whenever we saw other people so that I could pretend I was her coach. We also came up with a new Mantracker style sport but I'm not spill the beans in case we decide to market it. ;-)

Running 35:00 [3]
Earl was pretty sore about missing out on last weekend's adventure, so I promised him we'd spend some quality time together this week. Thursday after work we headed out to Laurel Creek, one of my favourite local hidden gems that is only 10 minutes from my work!
Did a short run on the trails. Is it weird that I loved how hot and humid it was?

Trekking/Hiking 2:30:00 [3]
Hiking out from campsite back to the parking lot. I had another leisurely morning and camp pack-up and really enjoyed this last day of hiking. My pack was a bit lighter and I felt generally more used to carrying it. I can easily see how people adapt to a routine like this when doing longer hikes.
Although the landscape felt pretty familiar to me, I really enjoyed how varied the trails were in the park. There were lots of ups and downs but nothing soul crushing and a few technical sections but they never lasted very long. All of the intersections were well marked and I never worried I was going the wrong way. Sites were huge and private and while food hanging was recommended, there had been no recent bear sightings so I felt very safe wildlife-wise except from that jerk snake Sassafras!
Once I got home and recovered with a couple of nice cold Michigan IPAs, I got out the topo map, marked the route that I had taken and started to plan what I would want to do the next time I go back there!
