Niagara E2E - We did it!

A long weekend. Perfect weather. A group of enthusiastic runners turned hikers. Cheryl, Jenn, Judy H, Judy M, Mads, Michelle, Tanya and Sheila laced up their boots.  It was fun. It was challenging. It was fun. It was hard. It was fun.

What does BFR stand for? Bare Footed Rescuers? Blisters For Runners?  Babes For Rent? Being Fairly Ridiculous? You choose. 


The part of the Bruce Trail we saw on this past weekend is just beautiful. It has it all. Steep climbs, breathtaking vistas, steep descends, meandering paths through forests, criss crossing golf courses, along highways that you can hear but not see because you're in the forest. Many flowers, green things, birds and critters to look at. 



Team Orange. We did it! We earned our badge.

Think about your eyes and all they’re seeing. They’re far, far from your feet.

By now the blisters are dried up, the ankles stopped paining, bruises and scratches are healing. And we're off to the next adventure: The Blue Mountain E2E this coming weekend. Stay tuned.
