Long loop between Mona Vale Road and Duffys Forest near my office.
the distance is quite a guesstimate because it has heaps of ups and downs so i dont know. I was very slow on the uphills and quite conservative downhill since everynow and then a slight discomfort reminds me of the back bending i suffered in Terrigal.

I had to push with all mt might but i felt ok most of the way and manage to "run" most of the uphill.

i did the valley lake walk around the other crater(not blue lake) it was very hot and very steep. although i was tired and sore i pushed up most hills, even up some stairs. good stretch afterwards as well

A quick run turned out to be a very long one. Down to town to drop an envelope at the post office, then back up to the hotel and then further up to the blue lake, a loop around the lake and then back via some botanical park. I only stopped once but i feel so tired and flat. Shins and outer legs sore at the last bit as well as the balls of my feet, but i think is all related to my posture.

back in 2003 i could do a head stand, lotus flower and balashana or dog pose like it was picking my nose, now i can barely touch my toes with my fingers. So a lengthy stretch was in order.

back in the mount, big plans to continue training, i even got some gatorade at the supermarket. Wish me luck!
