Medium Long Run.....



A gusty wind blowing this morning sending swirls of red dust across Diamond Fields Road.

Program : 14km or longer.

A stop half way for some stretching & another on the way back to say 'Hello' to some fine looking horse friends who always trot down to the fence when I go by & if I stand very quietly beside them, one of them reaches his head out until his warm velvety muzzle rubs against my arm & cheek...wonderful feeling!
17km. Avg. heart rate = 98bpm.
Time = 2hrs:25. Windy with swirls of red dust blowing across Diamond Fields Road. How does that red dust get through shoes & socks leaving feet covered in it?

  2. LL I too stop to talk to horses (not that there are many in Sydney...but if I'm running in the country) and I'm glad to know I'm not alone!

  6. The weather does look much better where you are. Though I have to say that the weather has improved here - no more fog, but there is a cold wind. I miss the sun!
    Good luck for C2S - have a great time.

    If I don't see you amongst the 60,000 on Sunday I should see you amongst the 150 at the Hidden Half the following weekend - I love this time of year!

    Cheers,
    Ben
