A day off work today, taking care of Mrs TF's. Nothing serious, just needed to be there in case.
While waiting, a few hours to fill in, I went to Molonglo Reach near Duntroon to start my run around the base of Mt Ainslie.
Molonglo Reach was once the meeting place a few years ago on a Saturday morning to start a group long run during summer. It is centrally located, it now has a new modern toilet block and it next to Lake Burley Griffin to cool off once finished.
A bit of a detour near the start due to roadworks, but otherwise it was a run to Campbell Park, over to Mt Ainslie main fire trail up to the saddle, then over Hackett Hill to the reservoir, then down to Hackett & Ainslie houses, past the golf club and back to the start.
Very few about on a nice sunny day, saw only a couple of mountain bikes & two other runners.
A good but not fast pace, slowed by the climbs up the back of Mt Ainslie & up the Hackett Hill. Otherwise, kept up a cruisy pace as I have the same plus another 10 kms on Saturday morning.
