Wild Salmon Day.

Today I’m taking you on a neighbourhood loop run starting near Lambrick Park, focusing on hydration and recovery after some recent health challenges. I carry water and reflect on the lesson to stay hydrated, rested, and mineral-balanced, especially after my gastric issues. Along the way, I talk about my wheat beer project, how I had to rebottle a batch, and I bring the leftover grain to feed the ducks at Bow Pond. I stop by the wood stand to retrieve my lucky pill bottle used for toonies, part of my effort to save for winter firewood by collecting returnables. As I near the end of the run, I head toward a local salmon celebration, listening for singing and drumming, and I stay mindful of heart rate, hydration, and the rhythm of this slow and steady comeback.
