Summit Run

On Sunday I had a fantastic run with one of my most awesome friends, Bec! We got up to Mt Coot-tha in the early-ish morning (about 6.30am when we started) and ran from base to summit along a lovely, well-marked trail.

It is so wonderful to have friends with whom you can share your passions. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to support my friend's soccer team through the finals to win the Grand Final in their division. And now here we were on a trail at Mt Coot-tha Sunday morning...unfortunately, not much room for a sideline cheering squad on a trail run! It was all about participation on Sunday. I picked the trail carefully, with a finish line at the summit look-out of Mt Coot-tha for maximum feeling of achievement. Somehow, climbing a big long hill without a view point can feel just a little bit less exhilarating.

Total distance: 4.08km
Total time: 35.48min
Total elevation: 153m
Average pace: 8.46min/km

Sure, we could have gone faster, but we didn't want a little run to get in the way of our talking!
