On The Road Again

Today:
Where: Evans Head,  NSW
Distance:  5.85 km
Time:  29' 09"
Rate: 4' 59" per km - bare feet
Weather:  sunny, temp 21 degrees, humidity 58%, wind NW 12 kmph, sea temp 22 degrees.
Week: 5.85 km, May: 107.7 km, Year:  1054.2 km

We have moved from Manning Point north up the coast. And just as well with a big storm front about to hit the southern NSW coast with some very strong winds, up to 80-90 kms per hour. They should miss us here.
We left Manning Point on Sunday to travel to Coffs Harbour, appointment for a service and some extras to be added to the van on Monday. That done, moved a little bit north towards Grafton to have an overnight behind a service centre and truck rest area. Bit noisy but lots happening with plenty of big rigs moving in and out all night, very exciting.
Early on the go to our current location at Evans Head, a large caravan park behind the surf club with about 7 kms of nice flat beach to run. Van to sandy beach - 400 metres
As well, there is a hill here up to a lookout where you can see fighter jets on pretend bombing runs up close and almost personal. Loud !!
An easy jog along the beach to shake out the stiffness of nothing for two days. Although short in distance, pace was good for running bare feet. Followed by a quick swim in the ocean, water temp a degree warmer than down south.
We are here for a week, should be fun, no will be fun.
Happy birthday, Ruth, enjoy the trip overseas.

  • Nice going with the bare-foot run. Calwell's a bit icy before 9am and dewy after 4, not that I'm finished work much before 4 these days.
