15 NOV 2024 · I began my trail run at Douglas Creek, starting on the Irvine Trail, which leveled off a bit after a while. Seventeen minutes from home, I entered Zone Three, taking in the surroundings as I tested my new trail shoes on the wet rocks. Twenty-seven minutes from my fridge, I noticed my pace picking up as I greeted some dogs along the way, prioritizing them over their owners as they seemed to pose more of a threat. Reaching my highest point, I took a moment to hydrate and catch the "money shot" with the sun's rays illuminating the view. After thirty-two minutes, I began the descent down South Ridge Trail, ready to complete my journey as I put the camera away before any mishaps occurred.

13 NOV 2024 · I’m waiting for the 14 bus to take me to the University of Victoria (UVic) after finding out I wasn't really needed at work today. After some navigating, I board the bus and enjoy the route that passes the Johnson Street Bridge and Mount Tolmie. When I arrive at UVic, I look for and find the 12 bus, which I think of as the "neighborhood bus" since it takes me close to my destination. Along the way, I decide to take a photograph to capture this little adventure. I’ll need to edit this recording later, as there’s more bus noise than talking, so for now, I’m signing off until the weekend.

11 NOV 2024 · On Monday, November 11, I went for a trail run on my favourite trails, working to reach my calorie burn goal for the day. My pace hovered around nine minutes per kilometre, with walk breaks on the inclines, I recorded some of my thoughts and sights along the way. I ran into a few people, passed several dogs, and stopped to take photos with my point-and-shoot camera. The trails were wet and muddy, with some challenging terrain, but I managed to stay on course, avoiding getting lost. Near the end of the run, I took a moment to remember those who served, observing Remembrance Day, before wrapping up the recording.

5 NOV 2024 · Take two:-
I was running to catch the bus to work, using the journey as a way to get some exercise and enjoy the morning. I covered a few kilometers at a moderate pace, noting changes in my heart rate and appreciating the peaceful surroundings, despite the occasional noise from crossing roads. Passing through Lambrick Park and other familiar spots, I reflected on the recent windstorm, which had caused power outages and could lead to food spoilage issues at work. Along the way, I encountered other runners, pedestrians, and glimpses of local life as I headed toward the bus terminus. I took a few photos to capture the moment and arrived at the bus station just as other buses were coming and going, marking the end of my morning run.

23 OCT 2024 · Early morning ramblings from a consummate rambler:-
Carlos shares a personal account of his walk to the bus stop as it gets dark and chilly, noting that his poor eyesight makes it challenging. He details his bus route to work, planning to record more once he crosses a bridge and changes his usual path. During his walk, Carlos mentions trying to take low-light photographs but struggles with blurry shots due to movement. He reflects on previous challenges, including a flat tire on his e-bike caused by overloading it with cedar kindling. Despite the setback, he improvises by walking beside his bike, using its throttle to assist him uphill while completing the journey.

19 OCT 2024 · Good morning, I'm running solo in the rain, about halfway into my route, and I decided to go audio-only since the rain would mess up the camera lens. Today, I’m headed to Borden Mercantile to buy some wheat for brewing a pale wheat beer. I’ve already got the hops and barley, but I’ll be sneaky because they don’t usually sell grains for human consumption. My run is around 4 kilometers, and my pace is improving on the downhill despite the wet shoes. Now, I’m nearing the mercantile and wrapping up the run – thanks for joining me in the rain!

14 OCT 2024 · My Canadian Thanksgiving run started with a steady pace in Zone 2, which left me enough breath to talk about meeting friends from Washington who were in town to run an 8K race. As I jogged along, I reflected on the challenges of running on slippery trails, appreciating my camera case after learning the hard way about the importance of protecting gear. I also shared stories about my friends' races and my own experiences, comparing results and musing on age differences. Throughout the run, I kept an eye on my heart rate zones and took moments to enjoy the beautiful, overcast Victoria scenery. By the end, I felt thankful for the ability to run in such a stunning part of the world.

9 OCT 2024 · Good morning, I'm on my usual ride today, heading to work via the Galloping Goose trail. It's a bit chilly, and my nylon jacket is making some noise, but it's manageable. There's a lot of cyclists out this morning, most on e-bikes, zooming by as I track my distance and speed. I've covered over eight kilometers and still have a bit to go, but it's a peaceful ride despite the cold.
