Running During the Corona Virus Lockdown
I love trail running and I didn’t think I’d be able to do it during the Corona virus restrictions that have been in place for a long time now. Fortunately, there are many trails that are still open in my area. There are signs posted to help people continue the social distancing that we all […]

Small Town Skatepark (Tilbury, ON.)
Tilbury has a skatepark on 24 Stewart Avenue. It’s small, but then again, so is Tilbury. I found myself there and just had to stop for a quick session. It’s got a variety of rails, a small spine and block obstacle stairs, launch ramps, and quarter-pipes. Apparently, there are other skateparks not too far from […]

A.W. Campbell Trail Run
A.W. Campbell Conservation area is located in the small township of Brooke-Alvinston, Ontario. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the front entrance or the trail map when I was there for a run on the weekend. But let’s go on a little tour of the place nonetheless. There are 40 campsites, various playgrounds […]

That One Time I Ran Steeplechase
In middle school, I ran track and cross country. I still remember the first time I went to a meet and saw this beautiful red track. I was in awe. The surface was soft and had a bit of a bounce to it. It was nothing like the dirt tracks I had seen. In fact, […]

Wyoming Skatepark (ON, Canada)
The small town of Plympton-Wyoming has a skate park located in McKay Park on Ontario Street. There is a quarter-pipe a little bit shorter than this launch ramp. I forgot to get a close-up picture of it today. Here is the pyramid ramp that lies between them. And just off to the side is this […]

See the Trilliums While You Can
I love trail running this time of year and getting to see trilliums starting to bloom. Warbler Woods in London, Ontario is one of the best places to see Ontario’s Provincial Flower every spring. The flowers line the trailside and it is absolutely beautiful. The trillium needs a lot of sunlight to survive. Unfortunately, wooded […]

Skateboarding in Zero Gravity
Zero Gravity Skateboard Park is located 199 King St. S. in Blenheim. It is a small, concrete skatepark located across from a public school and directly beside a community centre and arena. I like to write profiles of every skatepark that I come across, so when I found this park in the fall, I started […]

Strange Ice Hills at the Beach
I decided to stay active this winter. Normally, when it starts to get cold, I hang up my running shoes for the season. I don’t like running outside when it gets below 5°C. The funny thing is, it’s been warmer than that several times this winter and I have taken full advantage of that by […]
