The weather all weekend was overcast but that didn't take away the stunning scenes & nature vibes I felt as I ran/walked along the trail serenaded by some sounds of birds so brill & shrill.
I made mountain bread sandwiches =) of natural peanut & cacao butter with mashed bananas for great energy & had some salted peanuts too for maintaining my electrolyte balance. Washed down with lots of water so no fluoro sugary nastiness just fresh whole foods & H2o.
I was out there for 6 hours pretty much on my lonesome but there were some strange growling noises going down at one point, clearly my mind wandered & I was certain I was being stalked by a predatory killer cat ready to pounce on me, I even had my defence all planned out - to curl into a ball & play dead. & if that didn't work, to share my sandwiches with the savage =)
I survived. I also stormed up the mountain that looms large at the end of the 40k's. Without stopping. Good feeling. Great running. Happy days.
the Blue mountains National park of sheer beauty & steep hills...
super scary bridge - before...
& after!!
the six foot track & I - besties!!
& that mountain way back in the distance - my finish line.
