Running (Trail) 4:32:45 [3] 31.49 km (8:40 / km) +864m 7:37 / km
slept:6.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 - Blue
'Bent, Storm and BGY were running with Scout and AdventureDog at Mono Cliffs this morning and I hitched a ride with them so I could run home. Starting near the southeast entrance to the park, I headed south on the Bruce Trail until I intersected the Hockley Loop. Then I turned onto the side trail that leads to and through Anderson Tract and down to the 5th Line Parking lot.
The main news today was that someone has installed a bench at the viewpoint in Anderson Tract. (It was a run of minimal excitement!)
I found a large, organized hiking group enjoying their lunch in camping chairs on Sally's Pinnacle just a few millimeters from the largest patch of poison ivy on the Loop. I pointed out the plants as I turned onto the main Bruce Trail, and their leader nodded that he was aware.
I met more hikers and backpackers than usual but aside from the group, the total was still only about a dozen. The bugs were fairly kind but the humidity got to me. Yesterday's "super energetic" state is but a distant memory.
Today's podcasts were Serial Season 2 and Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History (thanks, JayXC!) As an aside, I worked as a Calculus TA for Dr. Graham Gladwell at the University of Waterloo. When he passed away a few months ago, I confirmed my suspicion that this very interesting man was Malcolm Gladwell's Dad.

Caledon's K2 is badly overgrown - so sad! I imagined ticks everywhere so I stuck to gravel roads for the last 5K. Storm, 'Bent and all four pooches were hanging out in the back yard - nice to see them! After they left, BazingaDog parked himself by the front door and waited in vain for Scout and Contour to come back in.
