Last Saturday, instead of doing the Coolong loops then dashing off to mass, I decided to head towards St. Bernadette's at the onset. I figured that way, I wouldn't have to be in such a mad rush to get to church since I would already be in the vicinity.
I must say, that route is more difficult that my usual Coolong and Old Northern Road routes. The roads were mostly uphill on that side of Old Northern Road towards the church. Although I know that the return trip would entail a downhill run, that didn't stop the uphills from being TIRING.
On Monday morning, I managed to get myself out of bed without much ado and go for my run. I decided it was early enough to run along Old Northern Road and back. I told myself that I would go a little farther this time. Instead of turning around after the third mystery, which is my normal half-way marker, I proceeded to finish the fourth mystery before turning back.
A google maps check that evening showed that the extra mystery translated to about half a kilometer one way. Not bad. More or less, I have managed to run over 4.5 km that morning.
I hope to be able to sustain the morning runs as autumn turns into winter. I must say that cold chilly winds are not as inviting as warm cozy beds.
