I started my run from the top of Harrop onto the South Ridge Trail toward Cougar Cave, setting out with Norma before she turned back due to her sore back. I kept the early pace slow, mixing in walking so we could ease into running together without pressure. Once on my own, I stayed relaxed in Zone 1, moving through the meadows and past familiar landmarks like Tombstone Rock while taking in the spring flowers and birdsong. I adjusted my route around the new dog fencing, noticing how it’s changing some of my usual loops but still enjoying the shared trail space with others and their dogs. By the end, my pace improved steadily, and I finished with photos, video, and audio—grateful for a flexible, sunlit run on the Mount Doug trails.
