| Bob and I planned on doing a nice hour-or-so long trail run around Cootes this afternoon before we had to head back to meet our student group. The day was grey and not super-warm but judging from yesterday's temps I figured I'd be good with my thin long-sleeved T and some thin tights. We set off, with a very vague idea of where we were going. Turned right onto "the trail" which was very cool and narrow with swamp grasses that were taller than our heads corn-maze style, but, oops this was a dead-end. Oh, and it started to rain gently. Okay, back out and down behind some soccer fields - oh, there's the trail! We ran along the windy muddy trails that looped and turned and slid all around. Came to some intersections, uh, turn right? Continued along and trails looped in all directions. Maybe we should have turned left? Ended up coming back out to the soccer fields so we decided to head back out to the road and try to find this "very obvious" trailhead. Oh, and then the rain started coming down in sheets. Did I mention that it was 6 degrees? Still pouring, and we headed down and up the paved road looking for the trailhead before turning back to school. The feeling of being slightly turned around, feet wet and muddy, soaked to the bone, and freezing cold bought back familiar memories of times I've held dear to my heart. Bring on PR! :)
Here is an approximation of our route. |

| Good run with a light pack from parking lot just south of the DV Trail centre, counterclockwise on Main Loop to Heritage. Followed Heritage into Ancaster and then along Wilson and down Sulpher Springs road to the Headwaters trail. Headed out on Headwaters and around the loop and back to the Main Loop to run clockwise back to the car. Was really out for about 2:36 but subtracted some time for getting semi-lost in Ancaster, and the occasional stop to look at the trail maps. Felt strong throughout. |
