My plan was to cross the Blenkinsop Trestle, say hello to my old friend Farmer Roy, and use the back gate of GardenWorks as a handy shortcut—but the gate was firmly secured with a chain and padlock, so the Jackal had to take the long way around via Lohbrunner and Blenkinsop. I eventually reached GardenWorks and asked about hibiscus plants, only to discover that neither indoor nor outdoor varieties were currently in stock, although they offered to contact me when they arrived. I left my name and number and specified that I was looking for a small six- or eight-inch plant, preferably with red flowers, which would make a nice addition to my wife's hibiscus-tea connection. So the mission was only semi-successful—the shortcut failed and the hibiscus remained elusive—but I came home with useful information, another Sunday run in the bag, and one more little Jackal adventure for the podcast.

Along the way, he reflects on the flax fields, learning that this crop is being grown for linseed rather than fibre, while wandering through the dry river valley and photographing a few of the farms and countryside sights.
The run then takes an unexpected turn into the story of the Dove’s Font, a beautiful old typeface developed beside the Dove pub on the Thames—a pub the Jackal himself remembers drinking in as a teenager.
He compares the highly polished presentation of the podcast he heard about the font with his own rough-and-ready Guerrilla Podcasting style, wondering whether his listeners sometimes prefer the stories without all the Jackal delivery wrapped around them.
By the end, he has decided to keep experimenting with shorter, less technical and less waffly audio, while continuing to tell the stories that turn up when he goes out for a run.

As usual, the conversation went everywhere—shoes, UFOs, electric cars, Facebook relationships, virtual races, Beirut and even gadgets that supposedly knew how many calories we’d eaten! Despite the social-distancing restrictions, Derek kept going like the Eveready Bunny, and we ended up covering about 4½ kilometres at a pretty respectable pace while still remembering that training is about listening to your body, not simply chasing speed.

I wander through the neighborhood toward Glencoe Cove, noticing everything from Montessori kids and dog walkers to playground construction, sea fog, pressure washers, and a suspiciously Homer Simpson-like Evergreen Terrace.
Without the familiar zone announcements, deciding when to walk becomes a discipline of its own — basically asking myself what Samantha would be saying if she were along for the ride.
There’s plenty of Jackal-style wandering along the way, including cameras and recorders in one hand, a phone in the other, trousers threatening to fall down, and thoughts drifting from local streets to the large trees waiting for me in France.
It’s a five-mile neighborhood adventure, part running experiment, part travel preamble, and part unscripted conversation with whoever happens to be listening.

The heat and lingering smoke made breathing more difficult, so I alternated between running and walking while stopping to photograph the golf course, Bowker Creek, the water gardens, and other familiar landmarks along the route. I realized I had forgotten breakfast apart from half a banana, coffee, and my vitamins, and I also had to turn back earlier to retrieve my Sony recorder before the outing could properly begin. The steep climb felt every bit as challenging as Irvine Trail, and although the smoky haze hid the Olympic Peninsula from the summit, I enjoyed the peaceful circuit and reflected on friends from the running and podcasting community. I finished with just under 3.5 kilometres of running, captured my closing video at King's Pond, and wrapped up another short summer Running Jackal adventure.

The trails were rugged and slow going, with plenty of climbing, off-leash dogs, rocky sections, and a careful descent after my recent fall earlier in the week. I looped past the saddle, caves, and Todd Trail before making the final push to the summit on the safer back route. Along the way I stopped for photos, monitored my heart rate and calorie burn, and enjoyed the incredible views despite feeling a bit sleep-deprived. By the time I reached the top, the outing felt less about speed and more about endurance, caution, and simply enjoying the mountain.

i went out for a relaxed Top Loop run and covered about 5 km in roughly 50 minutes. My pace was around 9 minutes per kilometre, keeping things mostly comfortable. My heart rate averaged about 135 bpm and briefly climbed to around 180 bpm during the harder efforts. I spent most of the time in the easier zones with a few stronger bursts mixed in. I finished the run feeling great, like it was a solid but playful outing. 🏃‍♂️

My heart rate stayed comfortably low overall, drifting between Zones 2 and 3, with just a touch of climbing effort in Zone 4. The pace was unhurried, the cadence relaxed — the kind of run where the body moves and the mind wanders. As the trail rolled under my feet, I found myself thinking about old friends and the seasons of life we’ve shared. It was one of those “great feeling” runs — not fast, not flashy, just honest miles and quiet reflection in the woods.

The route follows a classic saddle loop, mixing steady climbing, power hiking, and relaxed downhill stretches while I keep an eye on heart rate and pace.

I made a wrong turn, retraced my steps (as trail wisdom demands), and eventually rejoined a semi-official path that wound its way toward the top. There were fungi on trees — possibly turkey tail — signs of last summer’s burn, a stray Starbucks gift card, and plenty of mossy rock photo opportunities along the way. Twenty minutes in, I popped out at the summit parking lot, recorded a quick trailer, watched a wary seagull guard his snack stash, and then let the paved downhill carry me back toward Richmond Road. Not a long episode, but a good cross-training climb close to home — less than five kilometres from my fridge. Later: tomato sauce, pizza assembly, and the quiet satisfaction of another small local adventure in the books.

After a quick transfer to the 72, I rode to the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal and boarded the small ferry bound for Fulford Harbor on Salt Spring Island. I had no fixed plans, just a simple goal to explore the island and see what future e-bike trips might look like.Once there, I biked about six kilometers to Ruckle Farm, logging around 500 calories on my little road bike. The island was scenic but steep—definitely better suited for an e-bike next time. I stopped at a local store that had everything from sandwiches to wine, enjoyed a beef sandwich and a discreet Pilsner Urquell from my water bottle while listening to a pianist by the pier.Despite a few mishaps, it was a rewarding solo adventure full of music, good food, and the open road.

After a quick transfer to the 72, I rode to the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal and boarded the small ferry bound for Fulford Harbor on Salt Spring Island. I had no fixed plans, just a simple goal to explore the island and see what future e-bike trips might look like.Once there, I biked about six kilometers to Ruckle Farm, logging around 500 calories on my little road bike. The island was scenic but steep—definitely better suited for an e-bike next time. I stopped at a local store that had everything from sandwiches to wine, enjoyed a beef sandwich and a discreet Pilsner Urquell from my water bottle while listening to a pianist by the pier.Despite a few mishaps, it was a rewarding solo adventure full of music, good food, and the open road.

Nice run, Carlos! Looks like you had a solid outing with Derick—good company and good pacing. Keeping in zone two most of the time is great for aerobic base building, and 3.76 km in just over 32 minutes at an 8:31/km pace shows you're staying consistent and controlled, which is key for endurance training. Also, that "running jackal saying bye-bye" line adds a fun personal touch—made me smile. If you'd like, I can help analyze your heart rate zones more closely or create a training log from your runs. Just let me know!

We discussed how modifying one's diet and increasing activity could improve health. As we passed familiar spots and people, we shared memories of past encounters and talked about upcoming plans.
