Bob, the Rasta, from the bushes

Today’s outing to Lohbrunner Pond turned into a bit of an adventure when I accidentally took my usual route and had to backtrack before getting on course. Along the way I mixed steady walking with short running bursts, enjoying cooler temperatures, plenty of trail encounters, and a chance to test how a few lifestyle tweaks have been affecting my energy levels. I crossed the meadows, exchanged greetings with familiar faces, dodged cyclists and dogs, and soaked in the sounds of the city waking up around me. By the time I reached the pond, my pace had steadily improved and I was feeling fresh, rested, and well hydrated despite the extra kilometre added by my early navigation error. After taking a few photos and enjoying the peaceful scenery, I looped around the pond and headed home, satisfied with another enjoyable midweek outing.
