Verified by locals but no sight of him on my run.

Only saw some deer! 🦌

Hi Annie, seeing those would make me run home fast

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I wasn’t too sure! Only verified once I got back to the chalet!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

I still would have sprinted home even if not sure but quite exciting

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Crikey, I’m so glad you didn’t meet him! 🐻

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Me too!!

[Hidden]

wooahh! Apparently the advice is not tocycle or run around bears as they will chase you. Do you have a bear bell?

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

No! However I will be more careful where I run on Friday my last run up here.

Yikes! I miss the beauty of living near bear country but don't miss the fear of coming across bears. Of course when I lived there, I wasn't a runner but spent many hours hiking, mountain biking and camping. It wasn't uncommon to see them in the campgrounds - you sure learn to be a neat and tidy camper though, putting everything away and not leaving anything out. We upgraded from our tent to a cute little boler trailer once we moved there which I'm sure they could open it like a tin can if they really wanted to but I felt a little safer regardless. I'll be back in June with a friend and her daughter camping at Tunnel Mountain for the Banff HM. Can't wait! I hope you're enjoying your holiday and only see the wildlife from a safe distance 😊

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Ooh enjoy! Calling in at Banff on the way home! Your camping trips sound amazing! ☺️

[MummyTum Graduate]

😳😮 Annie how utterly terrifying! Stay safe xx

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to MummyTum]

Ignorance is bliss! Maybe Fridays run will be more scary. Will stick to the road I think!

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

Oh my, you are so brave running with bears. That’ll speed you up😉

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

🤣 not so brave now! Xx

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Trying not to laugh but that is seriously scary, bet we’ve never lost anyone off this forum to a bear before. Think you are allowed a few days off till free of bear country. How’s your s&f planning going?

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

No routine yet due to holiday week with family & different agendas. Back to Calgary on the weekend so will be easier. However have a definite routine planned out for when I get back home. I need it as I am very lazy when it comes to anything except running!! 🤣

[AliHC Graduate]

🐹 OMG! xxx

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Retrospectively a bit scary 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Scary but exciting at the same time . What an amazing thing to see 😊😊

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Indeed! I am going to frame this one!!

[LeeU Graduate]

Fantastic picture Annie, I think coming across a bear after a 5k run would soon get rid of any gremlins you may have lurking at the time.

Please do be careful, apparently their bites hurt a tad.

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to LeeU]

Will stick to 🐌 😊
