23 MAR. 2025 · Jack ran for the rhythm, the movement, and the quiet, no longer chasing medals or records. A chance encounter with a younger runner stirred memories of past races, but he simply smiled—those days were behind him. His running journey had begun decades earlier in Montreal, struggling up Mount Royal, finding a rhythm that would shape his life. Over the years, races tested his endurance, from his first 5K to ultras like the Courtenay to Nanaimo 120K, where he embraced the solitude and grit of long-distance running. Now, every run was a step forward, not toward a finish line, but toward something deeper—something that had become part of who he was.
19 MAR. 2025 · Harrop Trail Romp (the blog post)
Carlos set out on the winding Harrop Trail, determined to reach the cave without stopping, though distractions lurked at every turn. The relentless climb forced him to push through burning legs and a slowing pace, his earbuds filling the silence between encounters with hikers, seniors, and fearless children descending Little Mount Doug. Wind whipped through the canopy as he debated extending his route, torn between the familiar loop and an ambitious detour through the meadows. Pausing only briefly for a photo, he pressed on, contemplating his latest project—a condensed, AI-assisted storytelling of his decades-long running journey. With a final burst of energy, he topped out, the trail behind him another chapter in his ever-growing archive of adventure.

16 MAR. 2025 · As I record this video and audio, I’m making my way through the Ferndale Forest on my Hollydene Loop run. I’m currently 22 minutes in, running at an 8:19 pace, though I want to ease back to around 8:45 per kilometre since I’m aiming for 10K today—longer than usual for me these days. The route takes me past Gordon Point Estate and onward to Glencoe Cove, where I spot a small fishing boat on the horizon. As I descend towards Hollydene Park, I take in the view of a couple of big ships in the distance, planning to zoom in for a better shot. Soon, I’ll take a short break at a bench near a blooming camellia bush, enjoying the coastal scenery before continuing on.

12 MAR. 2025 · Carlos wore his chest-mounted camera and carried another device in his hand, ensuring he could record both video and audio while keeping his hands free. As he left suburbia and entered the forest, he took a walk break, passing towering Douglas firs and spotting the sign marking the entrance to his trail. He paced himself carefully, navigating wet rocks and winding trails, all while observing the well-drained terrain and the occasional fallen tree. Nearing Lohbrunner Pond, he set up his cameras to capture footage of feeding the ducks, tossing them oats as they eagerly approached. As they finished their meal, he signed off, saying, “No, I don’t have any more for you today,” before packing up and heading back down the trail.

5 MAR. 2025 · As I set out on my new 4-mile loop, I start through Bow Park, enjoying the quiet trails before reaching Larchwood via Garnet Road. The route then connects with part of the Cedar Hill Loop, where I settle into a steady rhythm, appreciating the familiar terrain in a new way. I spot a few other runners along the way, exchanging nods as we pass, each lost in our own routines. The final stretch takes me back through winding streets, and I can already tell this loop will be a keeper. By the time I finish, I know I’ll be running this route again soon, eager to refine my pacing and make it a regular part of my training.

2 MAR. 2025 · Carlos Castillo, the Running Jackal, takes listeners along on a dynamic trail run through the golf course, navigating both terrain and fleeting encounters with fellow runners and their dogs. Amidst the rhythmic cadence of his footsteps, he shares real-time reflections on heart rate fluctuations, the forgiving nature of the chip trail, and an upcoming work schedule adjustment. His keen eye captures the landscape through photographs, documenting early spring blossoms and the ever-present ducks eagerly awaiting their feed. As he approaches King’s Pond, he prepares for the final segment, setting up his camera to record the now-traditional duck-feeding finale. Wrapping up the podcast, he signs off with his signature farewell, promising to return with more musings and miles on Wednesday.

26 FEB. 2025 · I started my hike up Mount Douglas, hoping to spot the Canadian Navy vessel Raven 56. Navigating trails like Harrop and Power Lines, I reached Glendenning and checked my app, which confirmed the ship’s position. Unfortunately, the glare on the horizon made it impossible to see or photograph the vessel, so I changed plans and began my descent via Irvine Trail. Along the way, I took photos, reflected on my morning, and slipped on wet rock, reminding me of the challenges of downhill running. Despite missing the ship, I enjoyed the outing, recorded bird sounds, and saw it as another good experience for my podcasting journey.

23 FEB. 2025 · I started my wet solo trail run with a tough hill repeat, pushing through different effort zones before settling into a steady pace. Along the way, I crossed paths with an old running friend, Wendy, and reflected on how people often ask if I’m still running—as if it’s something you just stop doing. The route took me through familiar landmarks like the saddle, the fake bridges, and Whittaker Creek, where I finally gave up on keeping my feet dry. While navigating the swampy section, I considered how crutches might actually be better than a walker for an injured runner trying to stay active. Wrapping up near the resort, I checked my run time, captured a few final thoughts for my podcast, and signed off from another satisfying adventure in the “Forest of Fun.”

20 FEB. 2025 · I put some sodas in the fridge and asked if there were any plans to go out, but the answer was no. I slept from around 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. until midnight, then woke up to messages from England before going back to sleep until 4:00 a.m. In the morning, I rode my bike to Rithet’s Bog, stopping to feed the ducks and take some photos. The trail was quiet except for the sound of birds, and I carried birdseed to attract them. As I fed the second group of ducks, I wrapped up my outing at the bog.
