I had planned on going out and taking photos of birds today, but the vehicle which was to convey me to the sanctuary did not start, so that got postponed to another day.
Instead, I muddled around for a bit, then got tired of looking at how beautiful it was out, and changed into my running clothes. Given that I was sore from yesterday’s workout I didn’t plan to actually do a run, but did end up doing some running, and more than planned, with my pace coming in at a pretty solid 8:14/km.
The most notable difference today came on the return back from the end of the river trail. I normally go through Lower Hume Park, then up the stairs than join lower to upper. Today I bypassed the lower section altogether and ran up the hill alongside the park, then cut it when I got to the upper entrance.
The view looks like this per Google Maps:
It’s not crazy steep, more of a steady incline. I kept jogging until it leveled off. I also jogged up the steeper but shorter part of Fader Street. Basically, if there was a hill, I ran up it.
I don’t know how much I will regret this tomorrow. Only a little, I think. But it was nice to get out again in sunny weather, and the urge to keep running instead of being a lazy so-and-so was welcome.
