'Bent joined me for today's long run - a tour around Inglewood and Belfountain. We parked on Chinguacousy Rd. north of Old Baseline Rd. and ran trails and roads north to Forks of the Credit Provincial Park, where we did a loop back to the BT Trimble Side Trail, which we took to Belfountain Conservation Area with a side trip up the Crow's Nest trail. Then we took a 20-minute break at the ice cream store for treats and drinks. Today's aid station worked out much better than yesterday's! Then we ran roads to join the main Bruce Trail at the top of Devil's Pulpit and followed it 5-6 km to the car.
It was cooler, breezier and less humid than yesterday; I felt *so* much better running. It was, therefore, a little disappointing to see that today's time and distance were the same as yesterday's, with only 100 m more climb today to use as an excuse. Many of the trails were more technical today, I guess, and I hiked some rocky sections since I'm an injury-averse wimp.
Early in our run, Bob Knuckey drove up and rolled down his window. When he saw two people running with packs, he correctly guessed it was us. He was on his way home from swimming, biking 70 km and running 5 km. He is 69 years old and has a few Ironman 70.3 world championships under his belt - one of the most impressive athletes I know!
