speedygeoff's group at Parliament House

13 sleeps to Ultra

Distance: 10km
Time: 1 hour
Calories: 563

Session: 2 loops round Parliament House (about 1.7km each) then 5 x laps of the grassy stretch combined with path all the way down the front of Parliament House over the bridges across the bottom and up the other side (about 800m I think) and supposedly running fast UP the far side. Those UPs were tough. After 5 laps of this (in the case of Colin and David it was 6) we ran another warm down loop round Parliament House and speedygeoff, Ewen and I ran the remaining 600metres to make the distance 10km! There were a number of newcomers tonight and it was a good turnout. I met and chatted with a lady (girl) in my age group who has a much stronger kiwi accent than me. She's only been in Oz three years and she lived very near my home town. Instead of today I will have a rest day tomorrow.

  1. Hope you're coping with the no chocolate regime! I haven't had any real chocolate for 4 weeks now; it definitely gets easier.

    Sounds like SpeedyGeoff makes you work hard!

  3. We should have run 400m less for a nice round 9k.

    I measured that loop on Google Earth at 855 metres and I agree, the ups were not easy!

    At what age does a girl become a lady?
