Training Log Archive: STORM

Another solid Bruce Trail long run with Bent, this time point-to-point from south of Devil's Glen to the edge of Pretty River (big thanks to Browner and Bash for dropping us off). This one was a mix of highlights pieced together by some road and farm field slogs through punchy soft-crust snow. Then we finally hit solid ground through the Nottawasaga Lookout and Bent dropped the hammer. Good fun, but a little alarming that we both had shed 5 pounds by the end (Bent had brought a scale to do some experimenting). Quickly made it up over lunch though!

Had to run an errand in Pickering, so I planned a quick run on the Seaton Trail. Haven't been here since I ran the race many years ago, and forgot how enjoyable it is. Rolling hills, scenic river views, soft ground - good stuff. Few icy patches, but otherwise decent conditions.

Came around a bend into an open field to be greeted by a coyote only 200 feet away. I had never seen one before last Fall, but have since four since then (including one from our window). A little unnerving that he would start to follow each time I trotted away, but nice to see.

Halton/Hilton run with DD11 and Julie P. Lotsa ice patches still - poor Julie didn't have spikes. Nice to see exposed ground again.

Shorts in February. I honestly could feel the sun warming my soul... :)
