It was a cloudy day on Lake Superior.
We ran 19km through rain and sleet. I was really tired by the end. Took some grit to get through this one.

Today I ran 42 km across our county. Such a fun way to see the area.
It was my 10th marathon this year!

It’s November in the meadow.
I always lament the arrival of winter because we have long, harsh ones. But now that November has arrived, I’m feeling ready

Little trail run in the hills today with a bit of snow along the way.
That makes 950 consecutive days of daily running

We ran 32 km today in the beautiful Porcupine Mountains.
Started in the dark with freezing temperatures and crossed some cold rivers.

Went for a 10 mile trail run in the hills by Lake Superior today. The leaves are so beautiful right now. Pictures don’t do it justice, but I had to try.

We were on the bike bridge, away from the actual protest. Quite a crowd up there too!

We got rooftop solar! And home batteries so that we don’t have to use the grid (except when there’s lots of snow).
These new panels are so efficient that we’re generating more than we use on a cloudy afternoon in October!

I’m running my first backyard ultramarathon tomorrow! 1 loop per hour up to 100 miles in 24 hours.
I don’t like the concept but I want to support a new local ultra. I’m still recovering from my 100, so not sure how far I’ll go, but I’m hoping I’ll get 42km.

I’ve tried to grow watermelon in some really harsh climates. This is the first successful attempt!
They are delicious: so sweet, so juicy! But I’m not sure it’s worth the prime spots in our little garden.

I ran 100 miles at Run Woodstock!
Nothing I've done compares to the challenges of running 100 miles. You have to push yourself hard when you are so tired and every step hurts, knowing you still have a long way to go.
Failure was never an option for me in this race.

I’m going for 100 miles!
Tomorrow I’m taking off to run my first 100 mile race at Woodstock. It will be tough, but I’ll give it everything I have.
I went for a short trail run with my new vest. Felt silly wearing a full vest on a short run, but it needed testing.

The first glimmer of sunrise over Lake Superior this morning.
Went for a 34km trail run, starting in the dark by headlamp. This was my last long run before my big race in a couple of weeks.

Cool photo taken during our 50k race on Saturday. It encapsulates what I love about running on our local trails. I'm on a beautiful peak, surrounded by forest, above Lake Superior.
After running these trails, we often go for a swim in the Lake

Went for a 17 km run today and then a swim in Lake Superior. We saw these two martens along the way.
Tomorrow is our local 50km trail race and I’ve already run over 70km this week! It’s going to be really hard tomorrow, but it’s good training.

I ran 23 km on the trails by Lake Superior today, but the wildfire smoke is so thick that you can’t see the lake. Didn’t stop me from having a nice post-run swim, though.
It was my 3rd fastest half-marathon this week.
