Mt Rob Roy - Doesn't Count

Today:
Purpose: drink station attendant, signs collector & easy run
Distance:   11.65 km
Time:  88' 01"
Rate:  7' 33" per km
Altitude gain: 300 metres
Weather: cloudy, temp 16 degrees, humidity 85%, wind calm

Week:  107.00 km,  March:  366.65 km,  Year:  1017.4 km

Easy running day, on drink station on corner of Big Monks track half way up Mt Rob Roy.
Low cloud prevented seeing the wonderful Tuggeranong valley or over to the Brindabellas, but the sight of some struggling runners climbing up steep hills is nice. Been there, done that, know how it feels.
After the last runner went past, followed to collect the signs over the circuit of the mountain, with more than 200 metres of up hill in 3 kms. Carrying a bag with signs doesn't make for easy running, walked a bit.
Then back at the start at Calwell shops, collected a few more signs & added the extra kms to make today's distance.
A comfortable day, nice and slow, no pressure in place of what may have been a rest day.
Seven weeks out of last 9 have been over 100 kms, good endurance base. March totals also looking good with more than a week to go. Except for niggle in left hip, tried to carry something too heavy a few weeks ago, all Ok.
Yesterday's run was the 60th time over Mt Rob Roy, but today doesn't count. Driving half way up the mountain, then running 6.8 kms hardly seems creditable. We'll leave today out of the stats.
