With Phatty in the Dundas Valley...

With Phatty and my brother-n-law near his house in Burlington. I felt TERRIBLE - had to stop due to major cramping in my stomach...the boys went ahead and I turned back after a quick vomit session. A couple of minutes later I felt okay so I just jogged around waiting for them to come back on the same trail....not a great run for any of us.

We met up at Coach D's (I forget his already established nickname) house for a night run. Phatty, Rocky, Coach D, and I hit the HV trail with our headlamps and ran up to the wellness center and then onto some trails through the neighborhoods on the north hill and back down to the valley. Great to have a group to run with so we'll see if we can keep it up through the winter. I was nervous for Rocky who has IM Florida in 3 weeks but she said she was missing the trails so much she wanted to run on them for a bit....luckily we all made it out unscathed....

With Bash on HVT#2 and then back on Duffy's Lane. Insanely warm for this time of year. Not only did Bash carry my water again but she picked me an organic apple at the end of the run.....but then I had to pick hers because she couldn't reach it and it didn't seem fair to watch her jumping away while I munched happily on my apple!

Bug out day. Phatty and I went for a swim once we got back to the campground. I have to say the water wasn't too bad. I think if the weekend had been sunny we would have spent a lot of time in the water.

Paddling and portaging to Killarney Lake. Amazing blue water - too bad it means the lake is dead. They are on their way back though. Someone told me that is because the smoke stacks in Sudbury used to be lower and dumped all of their crap in Killarney. Now thanks to the big stack it spews it's crap to some other location - that solves the problem if you ask me!
