No morning run today for me as I had the boys this weekend and I had arranged with David after he finished work we would meet at 4pm for a 90 minute run from my place. So out the door and we ran along the Skeleton Creek path in the direction of Hoppers/Werrribee, hmmm, windy and only 12 degrees and yep it was 4pm...
We crossed the creek at a little rock dam crossing, to get off the concrete & asphalt path and run on a gravel & dirt path still in the same direction, once on the dirt path we both discovered that dirt can easily become muddy & slippery, so for a few kms we ran with some extra weight on the soles of our shoes.
After investigating a rogue stone road that appears to have been built for the trucks and a new estate that is about to appear, then we turned and ran towards the city. For David this was a return down memory road, about two - three years ago he ran these trails a fair bit, so a few changes have occurred.
All up we ran 15.56km in 88 minutes, we ran in a few light drizzles bits, we ran with lots of wind, some behind, some across and lots in our face.
Whilst running is an individual effort I know I ran 15km this afternoon because of a friend and I know he said the same, mates are great!

Too right about the mates.
12C is lovely - we had 1C with wind chill yesterday, and snow on the mountains.
it as a good effort getting out there-didnt look particualrly inviting
Windy is an understatement.
It was blowing a gale!!!
