April already and have been busy running around Westwood Lake in Nanaimo. You  can see that its getting warmer by the amount of clothing the runners are wearing . I have been keeping my runs around 13K.M and Im gearing up for a trail run on good Friday held by The Runners Of  Compassion a running group that collects money and then gives it to needy individuals or groups , so its a worth while project. While Gail goes outrigering in the canoe I head up to the Lake and do my runs , And end up going  3 or 4 times a week each loop around the lake is close to 6 k.m and I usually end up doing-two loops some time I add  some by taking a different trail. Today I ended up on some mt bike trails up on top  Mt Benson  . I also found a couple of memorials  and a shelter  build by volunteers in memory off two young people  one died in a accident and the other  person died on mt Benson in a cabin . this is an isolated area and I followed a ridge here Finely coming to a good trail going down hill  then I ran into a well used Mt bike trail called ak2 which led me down to the power line by Morrell Lake so At least I knew were I was and had to retrace my steps a bid to get back to west wood lake all in all it was a good run.
