Hollydene Revisited

As I record this video and audio, I’m making my way through the Ferndale Forest on my Hollydene Loop run. I’m currently 22 minutes in, running at an 8:19 pace, though I want to ease back to around 8:45 per kilometre since I’m aiming for 10K today—longer than usual for me these days. The route takes me past Gordon Point Estate and onward to Glencoe Cove, where I spot a small fishing boat on the horizon. As I descend towards Hollydene Park, I take in the view of a couple of big ships in the distance, planning to zoom in for a better shot. Soon, I’ll take a short break at a bench near a blooming camellia bush, enjoying the coastal scenery before continuing on.
