Wow, what an awesome run this morning!!!
Allen and I represented the Hillbillies this morning. We started out up Dean Street at any easy conversational pace, and pretty much maintained the conversation and pace all the way. Allen hadn't run in a little while and was itching to hit the road again, a little warm up before tackling the Weskus Half on Saturday (Good luck Allen, and enjoy!) I was eager to get my legs moving and test my recovery progress after Cango. Also, I wanted a warm-up for Saturday, where I'll also be running Weskus. So that makes 3 Hillbillies in Langebaan on Saturday - Josh is running the Marathon!!
We started out this morning with no real plans for route or pace, just let out feet lead the way. I'd been contemplating 6-8km, depending on how my legs felt. Some mornings are meant for running, some aren't. Today was most definitely a running morning! My legs were more than happy to keep going, so off we went up Boshoff Avenue, up that little hill on Kirstenbosch Road, and stopped for water at Stone Church. Had I run alone I probably would have turned back at this point, but we were on a pretty good roll so we just kept going up Glastonbury Road. I can't remember when last Glastonbury felt so short and effortless!! Wow! I had to turn around and look back down the road to make sure we'd actually run up the right one!!
The trip back was mostly downhill, and was over way too quickly...
All in all, an amazing run!! Thanks Allen!
