..works best on small screens!
Scenes from the trails and races where I spend a lot of my free time. I’m perpetually in some kind of training mode. Races. Fitness. Distance. Streaks. Or just good old fashioned peer pressure. This site is nothing of not stuffed full of running posts and pics.

8r4d It’s still #summer for a couple weeks but it sure felt like #autumn when we were out #running through the #rivervalley this morning. The air was brisk and the forecast had threatened a frost overnight that never materialized… but I wore a jacket for the first time in a while and it wasn’t q wardrobe mistake.

8r4d Sunday #running back in Canada and the #autumn is creeping up, along with a curious #coyote … we ran an eight klick run in the cool morning, and contemplated the approaching winter. This coyote ran across the road in front of us then watched us very carefully as we ran by: Leon shouted at it and it startled a bit, but for a minute there I thought we were going to have a sixth companion for the run.
