Training Log- 24 km Harbour Run, Out and back: 17 October 2012

Posted on October 18, 2012

Last night  revisited a running route I hadn’t taken for about two years- it was like meeting an old friend again.

There had been a lot of changes in that time: a new bridge, some new pathways, public squares looking better developed. And also much was unchanged: the old boarding home still retaining its charm as well as its secrets, the stillness of running over the Parramatta River on Sydney’s harbour late in the evening, the distant glow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I ran along the first half of the course for the Sydney leg of the 10 City Bridge Run last night. Covering 12 km, and then returning along the same route.

Good conditions to run, and started fairly late in the evening which meant that the traffic on the road was light as well.

Pulled up well, and found the distance easy to manage, which is a good sign for the road ahead.
