Long weekenders

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Thought you might like to see my local lung-buster. This actually inspired me (along with a whole bunch of other things) to take up running, because it was while walking down this track that I was flummoxed by the sight of a woman in her 40s running UP it... until that moment I had held the firm opinion that the uptrack was totally impossible to run.

From the "x" in the photo (where there is road access) to the top is a lazy 1200 metres in length for a climb in altitude of 220 metres. You can see the track snaking its way up the ridge line. Formidable!

I still seriously can't see myself ever being able to run it (walking it is a serious enough undertaking), but I know it's possible, and it's local proximity (10 minute drive from my house) means that it will forever haunt me until I at least try it.

But not quite yet.
