What would have been a very nice walk to Belmont Trig and back, only my ankle decided after losing weeks to illness and terrible weather I needed to collect the full set of comeback impediments. Definitely more than just a tweak but hopefully not too bad, especially as I have another full day of wandering around the Onewhero hills scheduled this week....

Roads and riverbank - got my 30 minutes continuous today - in fact only real stop was after about 8 minutes warming up. so actually 40+ minutes continuous! Would have been nowhere near 5 minute km though, although I was pleasantly surprised to get past (just!) the driving range back gate before turning so compares ok with the couple of 'long' runs I snuck in before Christmas. I need new shoes though...

Should really get more road running under the belt before going off-road but knew in advance this was going to be a bit ugly and figured in the bush nobody can see you walk... Horoeka track, with the up very quickly degenerating into a run/walk mix, probably getting dangerously close to 50:50 by the top. Still, c 21:30 up which I think isn't much more than last time so maybe part of the problem was the bits I was running I was going too fast. Then carried on up the pylon road to spaghetti junction, where I officially turned around because it was full of beehives and definitely not because I was never really going to carry on round to the Tawhai track today. Descent back down the Horoeka track took a little over 10 minutes - gravity is a wonderful thing!
