Tess and Clairires Hilly Adventure

Met up with Tess at 5.30 at the Regatta to get 30mins of running in before the 6am group turned up. Just went out down the normal path into the city and turned around after 15mins. Got back a bit quicker so had a couple of mins to stretch and catch our breath (from talking not running hard!!!).

We then found out that the 6am group had planned to do a hilly run. mmm. Not exactly what was on the schedule. Any way neither of us are ones to back out of a run so off we toddled. After the first hill we agreed to fall back and just take it slow. We eventually lost the group and turned a wrong street. It was good though - we ran past the front runners in the wrong direction. they just laughed at us.

Then after a couple more we left the 'hill runners' and headed back out to the River City path before arriving back at the Regatta 40mins later.

Overall a nice steady 70 odd mins with a few (bloody!) hills thrown in. Not quite a H4 Tess tells me...

Good luck with your run on the weekend Clairie. Hope you pull up in good shape. Talking about H4s, the Striders are doing a H5 on Sunday, the day after we race 10km. It's all good!
