The Long Wander

Run You Clever Boy, And Remember ...

Sunday, August 6, 2017

A lazy Saturday with mediocre weather, and a long weekend, prompted me to push the long run to Sunday.   Overall, the right call - much nicer weather.

The training plan called for 24 km, and is only going to get longer.  Going around and around and around Queen's Park was starting to get a bit monotonous.  I decided to shake things up - take the Martin Goodman Trail west and then head up to High Park (to go around and around and around there instead)

Going along the waterfront was a very nice change of scenery.
Wandered off the trail, and right into Trillium Park!  That was a great detour ... Man, Trillium Park is fucking green!
Then, decided to simply follow the trail until its end, which was at the Humber Bay Arch Bridge, where it turned into the Humber Bay Park Trail.
Followed that as far as I could ... It ended at Norris Crescent Park, so I headed north to Lakeshore Boulevard.
I thought "hey, maybe I'll go west to the Long Branch Loop", so I did.
That was meh ... ok for an urban wander, but otherwise underwhelming.
It was ~22km to the Long Branch Loop, good enough, and time to go home.
Next time, I'm going up to High Park.

-tak! thbfft!
