After a couple of busy days manual labour (painting, jackhammers,...), I went for a long easy cruise circumnavigating the lower north shore. Felt tight and sluggish around the zoo foreshores, only starting to perk up around the Bridge.

Disaster struck after a couple of hours when I realised the 10 bucks in my pocket had fallen out...which meant I was in for a no food/icy-pole/coke long run on a pretty hot day. Hung in there reminiscing on some of the best icy poles - hard to go past the box of 8 in Garigal a few months back.

Thought I'd missed the Moo stairs bus due to peky work commitments, but headed over late and arrived as Bart was calling finish of his 37th rep*.

Did 10/5/3 to continue the gradual ramp up, and finished with a cleansing Guiness at the Lord Fitzroy(?)

* may have been 2nd.

Cruisy coastal loop from Dee Why down to Manly, then looped back thru' Fairlight to North Harbour and back to Dee Why a couple of k back from the coast.

Took a while to get going with a dose of the cbf's to overcome. In to the swing of things by Manly and quite enjoyed the run back.

I came across a short ridiculously steep section of road near Nolan Reserve on the way back. It felt steeper than 'sydneys steepest street' that we ran up in the recent rogaine.
