8r4d I deferred my evening to a #running adventure with the #runclub even tho I keep threatening that I may not be back this season. The #sunset was the bomb.

8r4d The first #running adventure of #autumn was probably my last #runclub of the year. We found some colourful trails and a #sunset to match.

8r4d #runclub #running and we toured the suburban streets and legged it up some respectable if modest hills as we weaved through the late summer asphalt glow

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

8r4d My first #runclub of the season was a quick #running excursion through some asphalt and trails under a fleeting #rainbow

8r4d Our #autumn #runclub night was an orange delight and we tackled about 8k of asphalt #running as the sun set and blew up the colours. Oh, and it’s getting chilly out there folks!

8r4d #runclub dips into September and #summer weather is holding for another week of #running adventure. P’s grandson joined for a whole klick before he petered out, though his navigation skills put his grandfather on guard in case he could soon take over as the crew’s human gps and route guru.

8r4d A the #summer fades and training slips into the odd season, we go out #running for a few last #runclub meets. Not many people out tonight so I don’t think we have many official weeks left.

8r4d The #running season had been brutal this month between the #heat and the #firesmoke the latter of which is burning down parts of our beloved mountain park town of Jasper as I write these words. I’ve run in Jasper on multiple occasions and as much as I complain about a bit of smoke, there truth under those words is really me holding back the anger of those who deny humanity’s role in the destruction of our fragile planetary ecosystem and then wring their hands as we sit helplessly witnessing the consequences. We logged a 7km run this evening at a sparsely attended #runclub but with the ongoing high temps my heart wasn’t even into it very much.

8r4d #runclub switched to #trails #running mode this evening and we met at the Savage center to delve into the deep woods of Whitemud Creek which was slick and spicy from recent #rain … as recent as half way thru our run and a mad dash back to our cars.

8r4d Day twenty-two of this old #running streak turned into a bit of a local safari. The regular Wednesday #runclub hit our 7k out and back and met a little #moose on the trail. I figured the pouring rain that deluged us up to a few minutes before we set off would be our biggest story, but alas the real big story was a big old #animal sighting.
