8r4d Day 27 of my May #running streak and I opted to head down to the #rivervalley to get some sunshine trails in. Back on Friday I ran up by the drop off… well the drop off overlooks this particular park span between the two footbridges, or where I was down running this evening. My 3k route (x2 out and back) made for a 6k run and an encounter with about a hundred people out walking, biking, running, or riding one wheeled motorized unicycles.

8r4d It was our year end concert for #orchestra this afternoon. Summer break now and time to get back into my solo #violin for a few months.

8r4d Sunday Runday and while most of the #runcrew was off doing a variety of races, a few of us tackled the regular #running routine (and day 26 of my streak) with a wandering 8k while trying to avoid the local race that was happening all around us and that we kept tripping over. We even saw SH zip by on the way to his first place finish in the 10k.

8r4d A twenty five day #running streak seems like some kind of a milestone and very nearly an excuse to stop but i’m already committed to running tomorrow on Sunday, and then it’s just a few short days until the end of May so… on we go. With everyone off at races this weekend it’s gonna be more quiet runs with just solo or a handful of folks. I obviously added some mid to my gauntlet this morning as it was. And my route took me down some familiar trails and some quasi familiar side road where I often walk or drive but rarely run.

8r4d Friday is a tough day for a #running streak run if only because A we just ran last night and B I’ve usually got stuff going on in the evening so I need to do an afternoon or even a morning run. Today was one of those even a morning run, so I drove somewhere different and did some loops in a nearby neighborhood to add to my gauntlet. Nicely I got that awesome #rivervalley drop off view a couple times.

8r4d Heres we go again. Is half past ten at night and the road paving crew just showed up to repave the street. Good luck sleeping tonight. #construction #city

8r4d We ran early this Thursday because wouldn’t you know it but the local hockey dudes are skipping their regular golf season and playing deeper into the playoffs than expected, so folks apparently want to watch it. We did a 9k #running tour of a southerly neighbourhood, the same place where RM and I ran a couple weeks back while hunting for beavers. This makes for 23 days in a row, by the way.

8r4d The dog and I are enjoying the morning #soundscape of #birdsong by the suburban lake near our walking route. This morning I tried using my field recorder to capture some cleaner clips than my phone’s voice recorder can manage. The pup rolled around in the wet grass.

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.

8r4d Once again our street is home to some late night shenanigans. Why the #city decided that #construction on our particular road needs to happen overnight in the wee hours of the sleeping hours and not, say, during a sane time when they’re not waking us all up, is beyond me. Yet, here we are… and no, this is not minor roadwork. They are ripping up sheets of asphalt with a backhoe and heavy equipment, likely looking to repave soon (by which I mean around 3am!)

8r4d On day 21 of my #running streak I yet again found myself knocking of some streets in T Towne, winding and looping and crossing of a list of connectors I’d missed on my previous go rounds. There was the threat of rain but the air is a bit warmer.
