castironguy #fruit shopping on vacay seems to age me appropriately

adventuredog Arguably the sea legs are a little weak on this one.

8r4d Back in BC for a couple days for a family event. Sadly no plane means this was a long haul #roadtrip … happily there were a few stops along the way.

8r4d Karin’s grandmother grew up on a homestead farm in the middle of nowhere about 2 hours east of the city. The farm is still in the family and we spent the afternoon at a reunion and went out to the old place for a photo session.

8r4d July the first and our #ohcanada Day tradition of a #running meetup followed by #breakfast continues.

8r4d #whyteavenue culture vibes

pixelazy Some #running views of #downtown and around

8r4d Our #running adventure run this evening was preempted by a small bachelor party for Leon who is getting married in a little over a week. We ran a celebratory lap through some downtown-ish trails and then went for bets on Whyte Ave.

8r4d A few klicks through the creek in the shade made today’s first days of #summer #running a breezy smile and more.

8r4d Lunch on Saturday and the first day of #summer on #whyteavenue and a wander thru the farmers market.

8r4d The first of our #adventurerun #running adventures for 2025 started at the river boat launch and took us up into forest heights and then back down into the river valley. It had rained hard all morning so the trails were a bit mucky. The point of these runs was always to get out of the rut of our regular routes and see some of the great city trails. They are always a success from that perspective.

8r4d When they ask me to plan a route for #runclub I do my best to find a big hill and some trails. #running

adventuredog The sun was out and the trails are hot, whose idea was it to wear a fur coat on this #walk today!?

8r4d A #flower by any other name is probably the fully blossoming rose bush in my front yard.

8r4d Another Sunday #running adventure and a great day for a run… sunshine, no smoke and enthusiasm from the crew. Ten klicks through the trails.

8r4d Day two at the #gamer convention was cluttered by bigger crowds and crazier activities…. and more #poutine

8r4d The afternoon pressed on and we played some games and saw some folks at the video #gamer convention.

8r4d #yeg board and video game convention got me looped into #gamer culture for the weekend.

8r4d The blur of my solo morning #running adventure chasing the trails ahead of the rain. Solo today because everyone else will be busy watching hockey later this evening when the usual schedule was posted.

8r4d I have been waging a war out my front door on an ant colony as they wreck havoc upon a beautiful and otherwise-thriving plum tree I’ve been trying to grow in my front yard.

8r4d A morning excursion to #whyteavenue with the kid on her first day after classes ended on her grade school career.
