Peacock Hill Run

This morning, I ran up to Peacock Hill via the Chip Trail, starting near King’s Pond after locking up my bike and getting an early Zone 3 warning from my heart. I chatted about a new medication I started—meant to ease prostate symptoms—but decided to take it at night due to possible dizziness. As I moved along the undulating trails, I reflected on my preference for real-life interaction over "Zoom" and reminded myself to keep my effort sustainable if I want to be running into my nineties. Near the summit, I recorded a short video and snapped a few photos of the hazy view, with Mount Tolmie, Mount Doug, and Bear Mountain barely visible through the smoke. By the end of the route, I had logged over twenty minutes of running and talking, enough for a full-length episode—unedited, meandering, and unmistakably Jackal.
