Today was a later, shorter 'long run'. Brett and Shaun finally met (yes, another witness that Shaun is indeed a real person, and not a figment of our collective imaginations!!)
:)
We took it easy this morning, flat route, easy pace. Well done to Brett on his longest run! Pretty soon you're going to be keeping Shaun and Josh company at the front of the pack!!
We started up Klipper Road, to fill out the distance a little, and did pretty much the same route as last week Thursday, only today we tacked on an extra little loop. Instead of heading left up Landsdowne Road, we ran straight across to Keurboom and down to Milner Road on the other side. From there we hit the Common from the opposite side before running back to Landsdowne/Liesbeek and the usual route home.
It rained for most of the first half of the run this morning. Starting out with fine 'did you feel that?' misty rain, followed by a bried but very definite rainfall. The rain water wasn't too cold, just enough to cool us down. It was actually a lot of fun running in the rain! Reminds me of childhood :) By the time we'd reached the Common we realised that the rain had pretty much dried up, although the clouds still looked very promising for more.
All in all, another great run! Thanks Hillbillies!
Route profile:
Route map:
Thursday we'll do 8-10km along the more scenic areas. Probably head up to Stone Church water point (8km) or up to the top of Glastonbury (10km) before turning around and retracing our footsteps back home. Unless someone has any suggestions/requests for a new/different route? I'm all ears!
Meet on Thursday, 18th Feb, in front of Great Westerford at 06:00.
See you guys there!
