Shout out from JD, to me, and all our friends at ‘The Extra Mile’ podcast, running the event this W/E

Mount Tolmie in Victoria, British Columbia, is a modest hill with an elevation of approximately 120 meters (394 feet), making it accessible for a mid-week solo trail run. The trail network is short but offers a mix of paved and dirt paths, suitable for a quick, energizing run. The summit provides panoramic views of the city, nearby islands, and distant mountains, offering a rewarding end to your run. It’s typically less crowded during the week, giving you a peaceful experience. While the trails aren't extensive, the varied terrain and scenic views make it a pleasant and convenient option for a quick trail run.

"Good morning, everyone! I'm recording another episode, this time while doing the 'Wurtele' extended loop, an almost 3 kilometer route. My friend JD has contributed more to these five-minute shows than I have, often sending episodes weekly. For this episode, I'm considering calling it 'The Green Hog' and keeping it to just under five minutes."

I recorded a show while hiking down to Glencoe Cove, sharing my routine of alternating between running and hiking to toughen up my feet without overdoing it. As I descended the steep hill, I reflected on how heart rate varies with the terrain and effort level, much like cycling, where you can control the load. I also shared memories of cycling with my friend Rob, who once lost control on this hill due to brake failure. Along the way, I took photos and recorded videos, noting the beautiful summer scenery and encountering a few fellow hikers. Finally, I mentioned my podcast statistics, including listeners from various countries, and concluded the hike with thoughts on my progress and plans for the episode.

The speaker is on a bike ride, using a head-mounted camera to document the experience while heading to meet a friend named Derek for their usual loop. He mentions switching off a Canadian history podcast to focus more on riding and talking. The ride is divided into three segments, and the speaker is cautious about avoiding traffic for safety reasons. They reflect on their sobriety journey, having not drunk alcohol since August 1st, and note that they are consuming more food and sparkling water. The video captures various moments along the ride, including familiar faces and landmarks, with an effort to keep the footage smooth and clear for viewers.

Your anniversary brunch sounds delightful! The Milton in Maryland, with its French flair, seems like the perfect spot. That Croque Monsieur with French fries, paired with a Cronenbourg, must have been amazing. The added touch of Prosecco for your special day is a nice touch, and those desserts—chocolate cake with cherries and chocolate mousse—must have been the perfect finish.Thanks for sharing this moment from the East Coast. It feels like I was right there with you and Mrs. D, enjoying every bite!
