Running at Awenda Provincial Park

         












I've just been on vacation.  Sometimes it's a challenge to keep up your fitness when you're away, but I didn't find it too hard this time, because when you're at the cottage and camping you generally do exercise anyway in the form of hiking, biking and swimming.  So it all worked out very well.  I even fit in some running.

We were camping at Awenda Provincial Park in Penetanguishene, which is a beautiful park.  It has 30 K of trails!  This is great for a runner.  The trails were just what I like too: nice forest trails.  There were lots of different trails to choose from, or you could also run along the roads.  I don't generally like road running, but these roads were camp roads, so they weren't as crowded with vehicles and they were surrounded by beautiful stretches of forest.  You could even run on the beach if you wanted.

Exercising on vacation: a must if you want to counter the calories in the wine, beer, roasted marshmallows and Jiffy Pop!  (And that was just the first day.)
