Wednesday Hike – Elk / Beaver Lake – Victoria, BC – Mud Bog’in

Wednesday Hike – Elk / Beaver Lake – Victoria, BC – Mud Bog’in

January 27, 2010:

I think I have thought on occasion over the past month or two, that I was surprised at the lack of mud on some of the trails I have been hiking and running on around Victoria. Mud always seems to be lurking somewhere on Vancouver [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Backwards Is Good

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Backwards Is Good

January 23, 2010:

I tend to get bored of doing some things over and over again. In a way this contradicts the fundamental notion of training for let’s say cycling since you kind of have to have a routine down. Within the realm of bike riding though, depending [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

January 22, 2010:

It’s Friday, hence it’s time for my weekend warrior activities to commence. This week has been a little bit busy with other things in life so not much running or anything else for that matter, but in true weekend warrior fashion I will try and [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Douglas – Victoria, BC – The Trees Seem Bigger In The Dark

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Douglas – Victoria, BC – The Trees Seem Bigger In The Dark

January 20, 2010:

Wednesday night hiking is good. This week I did a loop around the base of Mt. Doug(las) with my work friends and some non-work friends. Hiking at night lacks the kind of sensory input associated with hiking in the daylight, but regardless, it is still [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC – Rotting Pumpkins

January 17, 2010:

Well what do you know, another Saanich road bike ride today. I check the weather forecasts pretty frequently before rides to try and get a sense of that I might be in for in terms of rain and wind. I tend not to put too [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Not Too Saucy

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Not Too Saucy

January 16, 2010:

I’m getting into my 2010 bike riding with a different mindset than in the the past few years. The most significant difference is the fact that I am now done my most recent round of education, which was a major impediment to a consistent season [...]

Run – UVic / Oak Bay – Victoria, BC – I Might Be A Vampire

Run – UVic / Oak Bay – Victoria, BC – I Might Be A Vampire

January 15, 2010:

I think I might be part vampire. This afternoon I went for a run in the sun, but felt like the energy was being, or had been, sucked out of me. I came to the logical conclusion that since I have felt better on previous [...]

Wednesday Hike – Mt. Tolmie / UVic / Mystic Vale – Victoria, BC

January 13, 2010:

What did you do tonight? Ate some food, watched some TV, read a book, played scrabble? I suppose the list of options is just about endless. As has been the case for many previous Wednesday nights, I went out for a hike, this time at [...]

Run – UVic / Oak Bay – Victoria, BC

Run – UVic / Oak Bay – Victoria, BC

January 12, 2010:

It’s almost hump day, also known as Wednesday. Tonight I went out for an 8.5km run pretty close to home, namely UVic and Uplands. There were actually quite a few other runners out there, bike commuters too, but they don’t count. I’m not sure, but [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC

January 10, 2010:

I’m not overly set on sticking to a day-by-day plan, but I think I told myself not to long ago that I would try and get out on a bike at least three days a week in the coming months. In saying this I’m really [...]
