Running long 5:00:40 [3]
shoes: Salomon Sense Mantra
Long run from home. Finished at the Hackett car park. Saw a bit of North Canberra in between.
I left home about 4:50am and headed off through Melba, then along the Creek towards McKellar. Around the western side of Lake G and started looking for a toilet. Ran past the one at the boat ramp (locked), the Mall (closed), the Belco Skate Park (locked) and finally went into McDonalds. Feeling much better I headed over the top of Gossan, watching the sunrise, then over to Aranda playing fields. Stopped to pack my light away then up DS hill to the top of Aranda Hill. Filled in some time along some single track, then back through Aranda to meet SwissMiss. I had arranged to meet her outside Acejase's house at 6:45, but when I arranged this I didn't know if Acejase was coming for a run or not. He wasn't but it didn't matter as SwissMiss got to run somewhere different for a while.
I ran with SwissMiss through Black Mt, Bruce Ridge, O'Connor, Dickson, and Hackett. We got to the car park about 10 minutes before 8 so we headed off in different directions to fill in the time and be back at 8am. MaryMac had already arrived before we got there and gone off on a bike ride.
We met up Carol H and headed off around the base of Ainslie, but kept on going till we got to the Ainslie run-up route then followed that to the top. I refilled my water bottle then headed down the CCT, then Tricky Track, then over HH. I was feeling a bit weary so decided to give Majura a miss today, and instead ran down the gravel road to the car to see if MaryMac was back from her bike ride. She was but I wanted to do some more so I left her and headed off to the north. I ended up following some smaller tracks and went as far as the style at the start of the TTT. Just as I turned around I was caught up by Danielle Winslow who was out doing some GeoQuest training so we ran together back to the carpark, then she continued on. SwissMiss and Carol finished about 1 minute later.
Apart from a bit of a low spot going up Ainslie I felt good most of the way today. I drank about 2 litres of water, half of which was mixed with an Enduralyte tablet, and I had most of a 3hr bottle of Perpetuem along the way.
Breakfast at Sfoglia with MaryMac was pleasant: I decided to have the bacon and egg roll but struggled to get through it. I was more thirsty than hungry and polished off a big choccy milkshake, a mug of SFW, and about 4 glasses of water.
