It should read 30.85 km's

My wife had plans with her sister so I had nothing to do. At firs I thought about going to Taste of Lawrence but it get really crowded and I was not in the mood to be in crowd in this heat. Then I thought I might try and catch some of the Beaches Jazz Fest. I ended taking the long route to get there and walking more than I had planned.

I started at Victoria Park Subway, from there I headed down to RC Harris Water Treatment plant and then over to Jimmie Simpson Park for the Jazz Fest. I was a little late so I only caught a few songs by the final act and I enjoyed what I did catch. I wanted to see what the pedestrian only section of Church St. was like so ended swinging through there.

I thought if I could pull off a 15 km with some luck tonight but once I got going my legs felt fine so I kept going.

I have added the stats this time and I will put where the photos were taken. Part of the map has been cropped off since it shows where I live so the last few kms are missing from it.

Shoes: Nike Pegasus for this walk.

Water consumed: 6 Litres and a can of a popular cola with my two cheeseburgers.

I left the house last night around 6:30 pm with no plans in mind. I ended going to Long Branch GO station and then made my way from there. I headed through Marie Curtis (I have corrected the name) Park and then west for a bit into Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area in Port Credit. I turned around and headed east homeward after Lakview Conservation area came to dead end.

I was going to call it a night 2:30 but I after I grabbed a Hot Sausage off a hotdog cart and can of pop I decided I would keping going until the Subway or LRT opened. I ended up making my way to Leaside Stn. on Line 5.

I know why I usually do these longer walks in the other direction than the way I did today. The final 10 km were on Yonge St. and that is mostly uphill. I was up since 5 am yesterday morning as well so it made a bit more challenging,

Lovely short walk, felt like 3-4 km.

Entered through east Don Way into the green space in Mocassin Trail Park, Rainbow Tunnel, turned south onto the East Don Trail and followed that until we exited onto Wynford Heights Crescent, turned to Wynford Drive and onto Don Mills.

The walk really refreshed my appreciation for the unique vibe in this part of North York. Seeing the modernist and brutalist architecture, older style condos and structures like the Aga Khan woven into the immense green spaces of the Don almost made me emotional. Just something so unique about it compared to the rest of the city. Was in such awe, forgot to take photos of that part of the walk.
