Rest day yesterday just to get used to the cooler weather again and recover from a few harder runs while on holidays. I needed a hill or two today and for the rest of this month, so the perfect time to go the top of Mt Taylor. Similar run to one I did on 18th June, that day was up the new Richmond Fellowship track (zig zag), today it was on the way down.
Started out from work, around the outside of Lake Tuggeranong, up Athllon Dr to Sulwood Dr roundabout, then left on Sulwood to the track into the Mt Taylor nature reserve. It is a shorter trip to the top of the mountain this way, still ran all the way except the steps just past half way, too close and steep for me. Other than that, a good run to the top, very few people about today, fairly average day up there.
Down the zig zag track, not as fast to run down with the loose gravel and erosion logs needing to be jumped over, slowing progress. Torrens side fire trail is the one we used a couple of weeks ago for the monthly handicap, but a good surface and easy run down hill to Athllon Dr.
Even better all the way down to lake's edge, around the outside again and back to work. Good run, not as cold as I thought it would be, still wore shirt under running top. Short run tomorrow, long one on Saturday, not sure until the day depending on the weather, forecast for the weekend is not great.
Strewth, yes the house is back to 2 occupants, until a short time in Feb next year. It was a long 11 months.
Ewen, you always run better when it is warm and sunny, and slowed down by some topless bathing beauties. Could have " done a CJ" and fell over because I sure wasn't watching where I was going.
