Running the Douglas Creek Watershed

Sunday Long Run – Douglas Creek Watershed Edition 🏃‍♂️🌲 Hey folks! Just wrapped up a hot and happy 10K run through the Douglas Creek watershed—part trails, part quiet backstreets, and definitely more eventful than expected. Started off at Mount Doug’s main lot, escaped the city noise quickly, and got lost (in a good way) in the green tunnel of trees. Snapped a quick photo at the Norn Trail sign and soaked in some gorgeous lighting—hard shadows but tons of contrast. Camera in hand, podcast rolling... you’ll find both the video and audio on the Running Jackal podcast site if you're curious. Had a minor “Dog Incident” halfway through (spoiler: all dogs were good boys). Thought I’d be running solo but ended up with some surprise trail buddies, which made the climb to the saddle way more fun. Took a bit of a tumble—nothing serious—just trail grit on the fingers and a reminder to stay humble. Wrapped it up across Lambrick Park with a high heart rate and a full heart. Looking forward to possibly hosting my friend Allen soon—he and I have near-identical Strava stats, so the training banter should be epic.
