This is the trail (?)

January 25, 2010 — Posted in training

Because I live a few blocks away from Mt. Douglas Park, I frequently exercise Luthor there. Rain. Shine. Mist. Night (with headlamp). Day. Whatever. He and I love hitting the hill and the mucky trails. I’m glad to have a fast (and relatively well behaved dog) who I can train with.

Noa, my coach, scheduled me for a short, light run today (I swam this morning), so I headed to Mt. Doug and pretty much followed the dog’s lead. I had a tremendous amount of fun going off some of the more main trails and getting lost with Luthor. I took the camera along for this run to share some photos.

I love getting muddy and running around the park. This sort of thing compliments the mental activity that grad school requires. I get a great deal of joy from this element of my triathlon training, so I count myself lucky (again) to be here in Victoria.

See more photos of this run here.

    How is Duke?
    Less maddening, I hope. Life is good?

    Luthor sure is a handsome fellow. You ain’t bad either!

    Thanks for the encouragement. Good to hear from you. I hope you’re doing well. Are you on the coast now too? Still developing your photography skills?
