Running Calendar: Two Fruits Boxing Day Invitational - Dec.

Yesterday was the Tour de Mountain. A new course this year that took in 5 hills. A huge turn out with 150 runners/walkers.

I started out slowly not wanting to get sucked into the early sprint that happens with these runs. Did I say how much I dislike the Mt Taylor stairs. After that I started to come good and the best part of my run was the middle part over the next three or four hills. I put John Ks theory about how to walk hills quickly into practice and I was able to get up and over them much quicker than if I had run them.

I finished in 2h 32min. A bit slower than what I had hoped. At least I know where I am at. I good course which I really enjoyed.

This run has taken me over the 3000km for the year. Give the time out with injuries it's a fair total.

I ran tonight and I have to say that I felt very flat. Hope it picks up before Friday run .

No mountain should have stairs. Sunday was a good solid result. Just need to have quiet Christmas Day before Rob Roy on Boxing Day. Have a good Chrissie.
