Running long 1:37:00 [3] 15.6 km (6:13 / km) +300m 5:40 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Cushion 7
Cyclones long run from Clares except the Cyclones forgot to turn up so it was only me and Clare but we trundled round usual sort of loop into Gap Ck and back to Clare's for yummy home made bread with jam, and coffee. I also ran from home to Clare's and back. I'm feeling a little bit like a runner again.
The lowlight of the run was copping an angry serve from an mtb-er after a near head-on collision at the top of Rocket Frog Tr. As there were only the two of us we figured we'd be okay running some of the mtb-only single trail. We came across quite a few bikes on the way up with no problems, we got off the trail and out of the way to let them past, but at the top Clare wasn't paying attention for a second and this guy came whizzing through. She jumped. He went off the edge of the track but got back on after a hairy moment. Correct me if I'm wrong but that track is two-way isn't it? The map at the parking area even suggests riding up it! So we where on foot, which is against the rules, but what if we'd been on bikes? It would have been an accident for sure.
