A long run & a long time out there today with a mishap or two on the way. After a couple of years of near misses, finally  " did a CJ" on the fire trail behind Chifley houses on a flat surface with one small rock sticking out of the ground.
Right hand suffered the most damage with deep gash on palm. Other skin off left side on knee & elbow. No broken bones, just pride & self disgust for doing such a silly thing.
Otherwise, a good morning of running with Kerrie M & Softshoe over the rolling trails on Wanniassa Hill, Isaacs, Red Hill trig, Triple Tri course to visit Kerrie T in Curtin ( not home for coffee), Oakey Hill towards ( fell here) Mt Taylor, then on to Farrer ridge and home thru Gowrie.
Prior to the fall, a good solid run. The fall, shaken but not stirred, obviously reduced the running pace for a while as we walked a bit.
Not a big week for km distances with a rest day & the remainder all shorter than they need to be.
However, with almost six days still left in May, 500 for the month is possible.
Monthly handicap on Sunday will now be an easy day, just run the course & not finish last.
