    Ride Report — “Lochside Pig Ride” This morning, Rob and I set out on the Lochside Trail with one unusual mission: visit the new mini-pigs. The weather was perfect for spinning, and the trail was alive with late-summer greens and a hint of crispness in the air. We covered 31.77 km in just under two hours (1:57:03 moving time), keeping an easy conversational pace of 16.3 km/h. The ride wasn’t about speed—it was about scenery, company, and curiosity. Along the way, we climbed 143 m, enough to keep the legs warm but never burning. My average power came in at 56 W, translating to 965 calories burned, which I think means I earned extra lunch. The pigs, by the way, were worth the trip—charming, small, and already the stars of their pen. We lingered for a while before heading back, chatting about future rides and sharing the road with a scattering of other cyclists and walkers. Second longest ride in my Strava records—proof that sometimes the best motivation is the promise of something unexpected at the end of the trail. 🐷🚴

    This morning's run to Lohbunner Pond doubled as an audio test—I had my phone tucked in a pouch under my shirt to see how well it recorded. I skipped the earbuds and ran without music, listening only to messages from Samantha while focusing on pace and hydration. I mixed Half-Salt and a little sugar in my water to mimic a sports drink, aiming to replace lost electrolytes without the fake flavor. Along the way, I stopped to photograph my favorite "Pouting Tree" again and reflected on a recent fall that left a bruise and a reminder to stay cautious. As I reached the meadow, I paused the recording to audit the sound quality and enjoy the quiet moment.

    On a rest day that felt anything but restful, Carlos hiked up Irvine Trail to admire the blooming camas lilies, their purple petals bright against the mountain greens. He called it his “mountain of joy,” a place that never failed to lift his spirit—even when the climb left him breathless. From 3.12 kilometers away from his fridge, he scrambled up a rocky face with a grin and determination. At the summit lookout, with downtown Victoria and the Olympic Mountains stretched below, he paused to soak in the view. Signing off as “the running jackal,” Carlos bid farewell from Mount Douglas, now known as PKOLS.

    A peaceful lake nature walk made for the perfect rest day activity. The gentle rhythm of walking, surrounded by the calming sounds of birds, water and rustling leaves, helped recharge both body and mind. It was a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Every step along the trail brought a sense of calm and quiet renewal.
