Spent much of the gorgeous day sitting :(. Goose was off getting boats ready for the big expedition on the George River to Ungava Bay and Tman started camp today. So I drove to Belwood and spent 1 1/2 hours "registering"?!!? Not an efficient system.
It was cloudy and threatening rain by the time I got back. I ran around the park and then did jumping, bounding drills, and a fair few push ups in the sand at the beach vball courts. I'll be sore tomorrow.

Nice morning but only one of us could join Bent so Goose went to Inglewood, while I had a smaller window. Rode Duffy's to Old Church, Mt Pleasant, home. Not hard, but lots of hills. Took Tman to watch the pole vault meet this afternoon. 2 Olympic team members were competing; Damian Warner the decathlete who PBed which was nice to watch, and tied for 1st, and Alysha Newman who will pole vault in Rio for Canada. She was pretty awesome. 2 Olympians, world class athletes, right here in Bolton in the flesh at our humble pole vault facility. Very cool.

Went for a slow steady run on the Hockley trails with Bash. It was so much cooler than the past few days and we were in the cool of the forest the whole time, with a nice breeze, then some showers. Finished just before Bent, Leanmial and Goose finished their big loop and we all had a very pleasant lunch at the Black Birch. It's nice being on vacation and having people do to do stuff with.

Was just going to go for a short ride since it was supposed to be so hot but it was actually a beautiful morning and once I got going I just kept going. Rode to Caledon East, had a snack and drink, then rode rail trail almost to Tottenham, then zig-zagged home and felt pretty good.

Nice run up the river, but feeling very tired.

Paddled Tman around the lake and went for a swim while he napped in the boat - sweeet.

One last paddle around the lake on a fine summer morning, while Goose packed up all our stuff :), as well as his parents'. He's like father and son of the year at the same time.
