8r4d day eleven of my #running streak was another morning lap of the neighbourhood shortly before lunch, and almost soon enough to beat the returning heat and lingering #firesmoke

8r4d #running streak day ten and I got my 6k run around the hood done even as the day was getting a lot smokier out. It’s supposed to be a warm week, which I had hoped to avoid by doing this into September, but I guess #summer isn’t quite done with us yet. #firesmoke

8r4d I’m logged in at the nearby Starbucks with a keyboard and a #coffee and thinking it’s probably one of those morning when I need to write a short post here to bookmark the efforts I made in the code for this very site over the weekend. [read more...]

8r4d Sunday #running with a whiff of #firesmoke made for day nine of my growing streak [read more...]

8r4d A couple years back I started having some issues with my GoPro camera. It would freeze and give error messages when taking photos and videos. I didn’t really have the mental energy back then to figure it out, so the camera spent nearly two years on the shelf.

Long story short, I finally did some reading and figured out it was probably a corrupt memory card, or at least s memory card that was too big or having some spec issues. An SD card is like ten bucks these days tho, so a quick replacement let me confirm my research: bad memory card.

So, even shorter version: my camera seems to be working just fine again. Stay turned!

8r4d A break by the #river to try and cool off on our #walk in the dog park, but we already know someone is afraid of the water, huh? [read more...]

8r4d I found this #fossil in the river, just glancing down and saw it there. May as well take it home because it won't last long exposed to the flowing water as it was. [read more...]

adventuredog It was a bit of a hot day for a #walk but we went down to the dog park anyhow and did a lap. So much fun chasing bikes (*even when dad says NO!) [read more...]

8r4d The biggest challenge of day eight of my #running streak is navigating my timing around tomorrow’s anticipated longer Sunday run. I squeezed in a neighbourhood five kick tour before lunch, and before the heat of the day really set in.... with still lots of recovery time before meeting the crew in the morning. [read more...]

8r4d To cap off a week long #running streak (to be continued of course!) I went down to the dog park on a Friday morning and set off into the wild yonder across the bridge from there. They winding trip back was the most interesting by far.

8r4d #running streak day six was a wee bit of adventure in the southern suburbs of the city, and the temps were just about right for a late summer six klicks

8r4d #runclub was a scorcher again this week but the temp was only 28c so i braved it for the sake of day five of this #running streak

8r4d Despite the waning #firesmoke I went out #running late afternoon for day 4 of my streak. The traffic was busy and being the first day of back to school there were a lot of somber looking kids walking home.

8r4d The #firesmoke ruined a perfectly good #running day but I didn’t let it thwart my early ambitions to try for a steak this month. I’ve logged at least 5 klicks three days in a row, not much, but every streak starts with a first, second and third run, right?

8r4d First day of September and the #firesmoke rolls in just in time to cancel our breakfast run plans. Sigh.

adventuredog The last pirate of the North Saskatchewan, maybe. #kayak thru a #longweekend

8r4d Sunday #running and we started a bit early to beat the heat, starting in the shade as much as we could manage.
