Lollipop Bruce Trail run from Inglewood to Belfountain to Forks of the Credit, where I did an extra loop around the Park before returning on the Bruce and a Bruce Side Trail beside Galen Weston Jr's place. It was a spectacular spring day and I went through a lot of podcasts. Afterward, I dropped by the Caledon Hills Cycling shop sidewalk sale and BBQ and somehow managed to spend $432 on cool stuff but I did get a free burger. :)

Trillions of trilliums - or a few less.

Ran out of time. Not proud.

Some people have a policy of only doing activities that will last longer than their travel time there and back. 'Bent is breaking that rule this weekend as he heads to Yellowknife for a 24-hr stay with an overnight stop in Calgary tonight. It's his Mother's Day gift to his Mom, who broke her ankle while visiting family a few weeks ago and had surgery up north. She has finally been cleared to fly home to Toronto with an escort. Total travel distance for 'Bent will be about 8,200 kms. He doesn't have to buy a card this year!

Orienteering Ontario has regained access to its files and materials after a decade. It appears most of the boxes have not been opened since the 1990s and have been invaded by mice. Laura and I spent the afternoon digging through the first pile. We ended up with lots of bags of garbage and recycling but there are some real gems, including this photo. This is going to be a big project!

So tired.

Lousy sleep because in-laws. It may be awhile until 'Bent and I can take the pooches on another family run so we had a "training" run with them in the Craigleith/Alpine area. At first BazingaDog practised off-leash running on the 80' long line but it got underfoot on single track. The dogs enjoyed a couple of good wallows in snow patches on a warm day. We cooled them down with dips in Georgian Bay before and after.
