The running track

Ok after a very motivating chat to Mrs Vest this morning I got my butt into gear and headed out on my usual running track.

I have photographed my route for Kylie and Melissa to see :)

This is a real rough patch in the track, this is part of the farm that I run through to get to the gravel road I run up, makes hard work pushing the pram through it and Cai gets a real bumpy ride. Soon enough there will 1200 cows passing over it twice a day to the cowshed and I will not be running it as it will be too thick in crap! Make the most of it while I got it.

 Another gorgeous day, the two tanks right on the horizon of this next pic is where I like to run to when I don't have a pram to push!!! Its a good climb but I am not keen on attempting it with a pram.

This one shows the road I go on up after turning off the farm, down this hill and on up the valley. If I go to the first bridge and home it is a 7km run, the 2nd bridge is a 8km run. Today I went on up another half a km which gave me a 9km return run. Cai will last roughly 10kms and gets over it. If I go right up the valley and home again I get in 15kms. Once again only done when I can go kid free.

Coming back down the valley to the 2nd bridge and you can see one of the 3 quarry trucks coming down the road that we had to share the road with today!! They pasted us twice each!! Worked in my favor for Cai though, he enjoyed the trucks, I not so much enjoyed the dust!

This one shows the only real mental challenge I get when pushing Cai, getting to the top without stopping to a walk. Which I can do but I am sweating by the time I get there :)

The peak is just on the horizon.

We also had to share the track on the way home with some heifers.

Which stopped to say Hi to Cai

Then the last leg, down hill to home, and the best part of the view.

We hardly have any snow at all on the mountains!

So I got a few little breathers in today, with stops for photos, trucks going past & cows, but thank you Melissa for getting me off my butt and out the door today, feel much better for it xx

Home :)

      Then straight  out to say Hi to Neigh
    Home again, home again, jiggety jig
