Look at all you womens kicking ass - way to go!
I didn't do much training last week - only ran 3 times - but I did about 40km or so of walking as well, and a lot of this:
Two nights of camping in Algonquin Park to start off, including running the Bat Lake Trail.
Two nights camping just outside Ottawa, including most of a day devoted to the Canadian War Museum (something my husband - an ex Forces member - has always wanted to see) and a walk 'round Byward Market and the Parliament grounds.
We rode through Gatineau Park as we left Ottawa for Quebec, and running the challenging but absolutely stunning Wolf Trail was one of the highlights of the trip for me.
Ran right down to Blanchet Beach afterward for a dip in Meech Lake to cool off.
Then on to Montreal for a couple of nights, including catching a Just for Laughs Comedy Festival performance on Friday night.
(obligatory Basilique Notre Dame walk-by shot)
Then our last night was camping in Ferris Provincial Park, which has some fun trails and the stunning Ranney Gorge - there is a small but incredibly powerful waterfall, and a neat suspension bridge over the gorge.

I also ran a good chunk of the Drumlin Trail System before we left - it's very odd wearing running kit under my leathers to ride to the trailhead and changing from boots to shoes and gaiters when we arrive, but at least my footwear taste is consistent:
A quick 5-odd kilometer run through the woods:
Then one last hike with Tanker to the falls and onto the slightly vertiginous suspension bridge once more.
This week's goals: swim x 1
bike x 1
run x 5
core/strength x 4
Need to get back to consistent training - Montreal is bad for my waistline, and I have a training run on the course for the 50 miler I'm doing in September next weekend. Hoping I'll be in shape to do the full 40k as they shuttle you out to the furthest point of the out-and-back but you can cut it to about 30k by foregoing a loop around a lake.
