I wrote yesterday that I needed to get out for 2 hours, but I just didn't quite make it. Pushed for time a bit in the finish with a few other matters requiring attention, just so much to get done in a 4 hour break.
I had intended to go to Kambah Pool and back but the sight of Urambi Hills was too much of an attraction on a very nice spring day in the nation's capital.
Work to Urambi Hills, I didn't go to the top but ran the track up around the back past Black Sally where we ran a vet's handicap a couple of times until it was decided the course was too difficult ( hilly). Got as far as Gleneagles and that's where I changed my mind about Kambah Pool instead returning to Tuggie Creek across the open paddocks at a fair clip of pace for once, downhill with wind behind. Then decided to head out to Red Rocks Gorge gate and return to get some extra distance before following the low river track back to Pine Is and eventually back to work.
Great day out there, summer is nearly here. And last week's slow days were just a sign of needing a few day's rest. Better today by 5 secs per km over 20 km, that's alright.
