2011 and another under the belt.

Ran from home this morning, out the door and into the bush. Mind you a chunk of the course was on the road (bitumen surface) but the majority was along gravel tracks and over undulating terrain. My only grizzle was the bloody easterly wind which tends to live in our back yard over the summer months. I guess its lucky I am a wombat because it was a case of head down and nut it out.

In my younger days as a furry cute wombat with no fear of anything I would have run harder just to spite the wind and then kept winding it up until I got home. Now as a gnarly greying wombat I tend to barrel along at a steady state with gritted teeth merely cursing the wind. (what does not kill us makes us stronger.... Or simply annoys us to the point where we try to beat the shit out of it).

Anyway plenty of roos (kangaroos) out today across the open gravel rise. No snakes which was a bonus, not that I usually see many, well, see any actually. The small kicker hill was a bit of a bastard today and I just could not drive up it (lazy I think) Came back in through the loop to be greeted by my dog at the gate. All in all a great run.

For the garmin junkies (not quite there yet) I averages 3.50/km with a max pace of 3.28/km. The FR60 also made me a cappuccino at the 4km point of the run which I declined however of even less use to me I took 6672 steps for the run. Not sure of I will add that information to my diary as it is not something I would reflect on for future improvement, just another thing to worry about.
