This channel is a collection of voice recordings that capture little slices of my life here in Victoria. Most often, I’m out on the running trails, sharing the sounds and stories I encounter along the way, but sometimes the recordings wander into other moments too. Each episode is usually trimmed down from longer sessions, keeping things focused and under an hour so it’s easy to listen to. I like to think of it as a mix of running journal, local atmosphere, and personal reflection. I hope you enjoy the show and come along with me for the journey.

I set out this morning for a climb up the Irvine Trail to the antenna summit, skipping the usual lookout to explore the adjoining peaks instead. The air was crisp, with water running lightly in the creek and frost reported further up the island. Along the way, I met a group of hikers and their dogs, trading greetings as we all worked our way up the steep grade, sometimes running, sometimes hiking. The climb was steady, filled with reflections about work, missed timesheets, and the rhythm of trail running itself — knowing when to push and when to ease off. Reaching the old antenna, soon to be replaced, I paused for photos and a final look before heading down the South Ridge Trail, signing off from the summit of Mount Douglas on a bright Tuesday morning.
