Running (firetrails) 1:03:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon XT Wings 2

At Risdon Brook Dam. I did some exploring and followed a firetrail up and over the (big) hill just to the east of the dam. Then down the other side, coming back to the dam at the northern end where the firetrail finished up. I had never been on any of these tracks before! There were some handy piles of H4 confetti to follow too :)

From my parent's house in North Hobart to the summit of Mt Wellington. I've never actually done this run so I thought it was about time.
Up through West Hobart and over/around Knocklofty, up the Slides/Breakneck tracks to Junction Cabin, up Hunters Track to the Chalet, under the organ-pipes and up the Zig-zag Track. Matt and Heather were waiting for me up top!

Walked out to Hartz Peak with Matt (2hrs) in some fairly inclement weather. We got very wet! (and cold). Hot chocco and chips helped a bit back down in Franklin.

Twilight event at Campbell Parklands. At the last control my heel was accidentally stood on and my shoe came off. I couldn't for the life of me get it back on again! Had to undo the quadruple knot and put it back on (30s). Drama! :)

Sooo.... I got an iphone today which replaces my Nokia 6230i which I've had for the last 7 years. Sometimes you just have to move with the times (albeit with a few years delay).

shoes: Salomon XT Wings 2

Today we drove out on the Mount Hay Rd and parked near The Pinnacles. We ran out to Lockleys Pylon and then a bit further along the path before it started to drop really steeply into the valley. Then back we came. At the end we tacked on a further 8mins of running by checking out Flat Top (hill). Another magnificent run in stunning surrounds.

3 PM

Note

On our drive home to Canberra we stopped at Jenolan Caves and went on a tour of the Temple of Baal.

In the Blue Mountains. Matt and I ran from West St along the top of the valley to Wentworth Falls, via a few lookouts. We climbed down the well-made path beside the waterfall to the track at the very foot of the falls. Then we ran up the valley past Sylvia and Empress Falls back to the car. It was a fantastic run! (out for 1:45hrs all up).
