Tried to reach the Skook Lookout today on Skookumchuck Mountain. It’s 20+km up a forestry service road. Didn’t make it. Road became too narrow for our truck. But, I was able to get up close & personal with some larch trees. They’re deciduous conifers. 🥰

Sitting at Canmore Nordic Centre waiting for friends. Going to have a bbq, do some paddling and maybe mountain biking. It’s a bit smoky.

BMX looked like fun so I went to Cochrane BMX Try It Day in May 23rd. So. Much.Fun! The BMX community are incredibly welcoming and supportive of all ages. I be back! My legs were cooked as I had just finished a 2 road ride before this.

Was able to get outside for a run today. Two Sundays in a row! Started off as a nice morning but a storm is brewing and some chilly weather is moving in for the coming week.

Got out for a bit of walk today. The husband can’t ride or ski or snowboard until his rotator cuff is fixed. So walking it is. Went to Elbow Falls. It’s a pretty little spot.

Seen on today’s hamster wheel run….my car! He’s back from the car hospital with new bits! And yes, that’s my running jacket hanging on my hamster wheel. It’s chilly today.

The chinook winds have taken the rime frost but have given us a cool cloud formation with the moon peeking through. The picture on the right was taken last Tuesday.

Seen on my hike in Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. Lots of frozen fog (hoar frost). This is my favourite thing about winter in Alberta. #Alberta

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Was hopping to get some cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in this afternoon so we went to Kananaskis. Not enough snow 😔so we wondered around the village & had a bite to eat.
