Little Mt.Doug Trail Run

I headed out on a familiar run toward the swoopy trail and the meadows, narrating as the podcast music faded and the downhill rhythm took over. Along the way, I tested my activity camera on its lowest resolution, talked through its settings and time-lapse features, and laughed at my ongoing habit of misplacing bits of gear while still learning how everything works. As the kilometers and calories ticked by, I decided my route based on how close I was to my daily burn, eventually committing to a climb up Little Mount Doug. Near the top, breathing hard in zone six, I reflected on how good my body felt, even crediting a recent pedicure for happy feet. I crested Little Mount Doug on the last day of 2025, set up the camera one final time, and signed off with a careful, focused descent, closing out the year on the trails.
