Training Log Archive: GM

Long run from Hackett with joshy b for company, which was good for me. Started on the flat route towards Ainslie but then I took a different route to the usual. Up to the power lines then south for a bit and then up the single track that heads for the northern saddle. After a while we turned right onto a fun little track that contours. Back onto the higher fire trail for a while then I sent Josh off to the bottom of the main path up Ainslie so he could run hard and I took the shorter route. Josh smashed it up Ainslie and caught me just before the very top. Back down on Tricky Track with a small detour to the Labyrinth. Over Hackett Hill and then from the saddle Josh went via the GMFT and the zig zag tracks to the top of Majura while I took the single track that goes straight up. Good timing meant I made it to the top about 10 metres in front. Back down to the saddle then down to the right. Ran on a few smaller paths back to the car.

I felt so much better than the last couple of Sunday runs which I put down to having an easy day on Saturday. Funny how that works.

Wasn't planning on breakfast but stopped at Hackett shops to try and get a paper, and then thought why not, so had a coffee and almond croissant at 'Little Bean' which is opposite Wilburs. Both were excellent.
