'Bent and I finished up our work on the Metcalfe Rock snowshoe trail. It's all ready to go now, except for one key ingredient. (Sigh...)

Dog hike with 'Bent, AdventureDog and Stephen.

'Tis the season for deer hunting with muzzle loading guns, so because I was on my own, I ran a big block of country roads - west to Duncan, south to 6th Sideroad and back up 10th Line toward home.

It was a good run other than the weirdly high heart rate on my Apple Watch. Not only did it not match my perceived effort, it rose a little above my max heart rate (or what I thought was my max) a number of times. Checking my wrist, my heart rate did seem fast but probably not *that* fast. I had more caffeine than usual this morning - maybe that was it? When we get home, I'll dig out my real HRM and try it for a while. It agreed pretty closely with my Apple Watch when I tested them but maybe the watch wasn't positioned properly today.

Aside from that, it was a quiet run on a rather bleak, misty day, running through constant puddles and a little slush. I went 5 km before the first car passed me, and there may have been 10 vehicles after that.

I really needed to bring the stress level down so I strung together a few of Caron's 10 Minutes 2 Zen videos. Now I've poured a glass of wine to try to finish the job.

2 km of rowing + weights and bands.
