Mt. Tolmie (new route ascent)

I walked across Lambrick Park toward Mount Tolmie, deciding on a power hike instead of a run to give my body a day of rest. Along the way, I thought about taking the bus home after completing my planned five-kilometer climb and finishing my 600-calorie burn on the indoor bike. As I climbed, I discovered a new path up the west side of Mount Tolmie, enjoying the serene scenery despite lingering pain that I suspected might be arthritis. When I reached the summit, I paused to take photographs, record a trailer video, and admire the views of Mount Douglas, the inner harbor, and cruise ships in the distance. From the top of Mount Tolmie, I reflected on the rewarding hike and signed off with a final “bye bye” to mark the end of my adventure.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.
