Long run was from our house today. I had to be at work at 8.30 so brea, clare and roisin did a much shorter and different loop to rachel anna and the boys. We the southoundry, high wood road loop which is only about 7km but has some rather massive hills. Up the first massive and long hill my legs felt like lead- was not good. They got slightly better as the run went on. Wished I had time for a longer run but was good to run with brea, clare and roisin.

NOL Newcastle Long Race.

What a long race! 11.6km distance wise isn't too bad- have run multiple races longer this year however today it took me 160 minutes! I think it is the longest time I have run for. I think W21A will be a better option next time! Rather embarrassing. Didn't have too many navigational issues- overshot 12 by a fair way as I was up too high on the hill and then didn't climb enough into 13 so hit the creek too low and had to climb up to the control. I took some longer route choices so I could use tracks or just to be safe. I wish I had worn my GPS- would have been very interesting to see how far I ran.
Shins were really sore when I was running along the tracks- which was quite often. Didn't notice them as much when I was running through the bush.
