From the weir to the top

I started my run at the weir on Robinwood Drive and followed the Irvine trail up toward the summit. The morning was cool and damp after a night of rain, and I stopped briefly to admire the nasturtiums blooming in bright orange before the climb began. As I pushed into Zone 3, I felt steady, letting the rhythm of the trail and my thoughts about mindset and community carry me upward. Reaching the summit, the wind hit hard, but the wide view of the Coho ferry and ships in the distance reminded me why I love these climbs. The descent down Glendenning was steep and rocky, and I took it carefully, grateful for the workout, the scenery, and the sense of moving into a new season on the trails.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.
