am: Terrain run on South Ledge. Contouring along the slope above the Helena River. Started at the picnic area below the weir. Turned back at the western edge of the map after a 13 contour climb, and retraced my steps back to the picnic area. Was glad to finish because I got sick of tripping and stumbling, but didn't feel that tired afterwards.

I'd forgotten how trippy this area is! If the feet aren't being caught by the low, ratty scrub, you're stumbling on partly hidden rock or slipping on thick leaf litter and marri seeds, or detouring around the many large fallen logs. And that's in the areas of 'white'. Great area for training - I'd recommend it :-)

This is the start of the next phase of my training -- the introduction of terrain running and some higher quality training. I'm almost up to 2hrs in the long runs and everything is going OK, so I'll add in a terrain run once a week, and then if things are still going well after a few weeks, I'll probably start running a few events and gradually introducing some tempo training
