Bush Running Weekend.
SATURDAY 22/10/05, 4PM, 9K, WEEK TO DATE 32K, 6 HOURS SLEEP
I was up in the Blue Mountains, so ran a loop of the Shaws Ridge trail. This is a sandy firetrail that drops to the bottom of a small rainforesty valley, rolls along with a few gentle undulations, then climbs to the top of the escarpment with a long gradual climb and comes back to the start with more undulations. It was a humid day with some drizzle and I felt a bit tired at the start, but got going after a few minutes and got around in 48 minutes or so. Felt good at the end.
SUNDAY 23/10/05, 4PM, 8K, WEEKLY TOTAL 40K, 6 HOURS SLEEP
Out and back along the sublime Lady Carrington's Drive in the Royal National Park- a gently rolling trail along the banks of the Hacking River in a rainforest setting, with a rock escarpment leaping upwards on the non-river side. Warm, dry day. Ran in my newly acquired Skins tights- I thought these would be hot but, surprisingly, they were quite comfortable.
Took about a kilometre to get going but was moving well once I warmed up.
Health wise not a bad weekend- had a bout of the bug on Sunday morning (achy, no appetite, sweating) but was okay after lunch.

Sounds like my kind of weekend Mr G. I'm not familiar with Shaws Ridge I'll have to look it up. As for Lady Carrington I keep hearing so many good things about it I'll have to give it a whirl.
Glad the bug is behaving :-)
