8r4d The ‘nlaws have a little permanent #camping site out at a little lake in the middle of nowheres alberta and so we drove out for a Friday dinner and a visit

8r4d As much as my life should be full of free time, I still find myself needing to squeeze in #running training when I can, so a Friday morning 14k brought my through a couple big #rivervalley #hills with some nice sunny views of the valley and distant skyline.

8r4d August #longweekend approaches and with it the annual #heritagefestival where I’ve been #volunteering for nearly a decade making #crepes for the French pavilion. But you’re not French, you reply. Yeah, but my neighbours run the darn thing and we volunteer to support them. Once again I was down there a couple days early helping with setup: running extension cords, setting up the kitchen, hanging things, washing things, bossing people around because apparently I’m a senior volunteer now, huh?

8r4d It’s been a long weekend on my feet, a sixteen klick hike yesterday followed by a sixteen klick #rivervalley #running adventure this morning before the heat of the day kicked in. We made up a route on the fly, but it worked out well enough.

8r4d As our big #hike adventure inches ever closer, another practice was in the cards. We spent nearly five hours doing a long trudge around the mosquito-infested trails of the nearby #nationalpark and wildlife preserve east of the city. The sixteen klick loop circled around one of the lakes and strolled through a variety of forested and open terrain, but it was all pretty flat—well, except for climbing over all the fallen trees from a recent windstorm.

8r4d I’ve been told that even though this local #nationalpark hosts one of the largest wild #bison herds around, it is pretty rare to see this bit of #wildlife as close as we encountered. I’ll have a story about that in the near future.

8r4d The 2024 #olympicgames started in Paris this weekend and so, of course, the feeds and the channels are filled with little else. Here’s my obligatory (and heartfelt) “Go Team Canada!” post! [read more...]
