Running
Cross country running is one of my favourite activities. I love exploring a new trail, taking some pictures, and sharing my journey with you. Hopefully, you will discover a new trail to explore with these posts and photographic tours.

MacNaughton Morrison Trail Run
Let’s explore the MacNaughton Morrison Trail in Exeter, Ontario. It starts out with a bit of a boardwalk and continues with this concrete one. There are distance markers throughout the route. Unfortunately, it is not a looped course, but there is still a lot to offer visually and it is definitely work a trip. There […]

Port Gratiot Trail
Just across the border of Sarnia, Ontario is the small community of Port Gratiot. I decided to explore the nature preserve and walking trail because I like exploring new places to run and thought doing so in a different country would be a nice change of pace.

Medway Forest Trail (London, ON)
Medway Forest Trail is a great place to run in London, Ontario, Canada. I started today’s run at Western University and ran for five kilometers. It’s quiet back here and the sounds of the city fade away as you get further into the woods. I always love being able to run alongside a river. There […]

Running Alongside the Ausable River Cut
I love finding new places to run and explore. I had no idea what to expect when I started off on this run through Ausable River Cut Conservation Area. It was quite beautiful running alongside the river, with some nice places to stop and take it all in, including this look-out. I like when there […]

Laurier Creek Trail Run (Waterloo, ON)
I found myself in Waterloo yesterday and decided to run this trail. Even though I knew nothing about it, how long it was, or where it headed. The sign gave me lots of information, however. I knew that the trail was two kilometers long and that this run would probably be around five kilometers total. […]
