Exploring the Edge of My Playground

Mt. Tolmie Out & Back – Midday Mission Complete 🌄🔥 Today’s outing was a steady and satisfying loop from Gordon Head up to the summit of Mount Tolmie — and back again. I logged 8.08 kilometers at an average pace of 9:16/km, taking 1 hour and 14 minutes to complete the journey. The cadence held around 60, giving the whole workout a consistent, meditative rhythm. At the summit, I took in sweeping views over downtown Victoria and paused briefly at the vegetation signage — a subtle reminder of the ecosystem we're moving through. Even though Mount Tolmie is a lesser peak next to Mount Douglas, it still brings its own sense of quiet achievement. Oh, and a little bonus — I hit my Move goal before noon. Love when the body wakes up early and carries me all the way through. Here's to more morning missions like this. 🌤️🦶Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.
