I set out early on a warm morning run along the Feltham Trail with the goal of staying mostly in Zone 3, easing off whenever my effort drifted into Zone 4. My route took me on a tour of Bow Pond, King's Pond, and the surrounding trails, where I found very few ducks but enjoyed the peaceful scenery. The heat made the run more challenging, but my hydration pack kept me comfortable as I climbed the hills and settled into a steady rhythm. Along the way I simplified my watch announcements, listened to a little music, recorded videos at each stop, and focused on enjoying the journey rather than chasing pace. I finished the approximately 12-kilometre run feeling satisfied with a controlled workout and grateful for another morning on the trails.
