About the Park
Gowlland Tod Provincial Park provides excellent day-use recreation opportunities for hiking, nature appreciation and picnicking. More than 25 kilometres of trails, varying in degree of difficulty, offer spectacular views, as well as the chance to view animals in their natural environment. In spring and early summer, the moss-covered rocky knolls come alive with a carpet of colourful, vibrant wildflowers.

Swam at glorious (and popular) Tod inlet today. Air quality moderate but that didn’t stop us - I saw at least 10 other bathers- from enjoying a swim. Not saying it’s right to be outside when the air is so-so, but previous years have taught me to seize the day before it hits 10. #yyj #firesmoke #gowllandtodprovincialpark
Not allowed to swim right now, but I can swing! Next best thing to do by the water.

Awkward or Cute?
I think I'm awkward when I pose. My friend thought it was cute. Looking for votes. ✔️

You know the hike is good when someone refuses to get off the rock cliff and tongue can’t go back in the mouth anymore 🧡😜👅🥾💚

When you get one last hike in before your due date.
To help stay optimistic and distracted during the last weeks of pregnancy, I have found planning 'treat' activities to be helpful. 'If baby is not here tomorrow, I'll do a sunset hike!' Or, 'if I'm still pregnant on Saturday, I'll go to this fun event'. It has certainly helped me feel more energetic, and like I'm seizing my opportunities instead of dwelling on being a whale. I would definitely recommend this reward system.

Another running reel that’s been sitting in my drafts for months. Why am I like this? 😂
I absolutely love trail running with friends although, admittedly, I don’t do it often enough! I find that it’s easier for me to get out on my own, given my schedule and where I live.
Are you more of a group runner or solo runner?
