Trail Fun

On Saturday morning I headed out to Mt Coot-tha with Kaiser (my German Shepherd) and met up with my best friend for some trail fun. The morning started a bit later than intended (I don't think I have been on time for anything since V was born) but all was good once we started.

First we headed down Honey Eater and we were having a great time until I realised I probably should have gone to the bathrooms up the top. I need to think about these things a bit more now. By the time we reached the bottom we had to walk or things might have gotten embarrassing for me. The trails were pretty busy so I wasn't too keen on a bush toilet, so we headed down Greenford St to get to Gap Creek Reserve and use the bathrooms there.

Ah relief. We could run again. I decided I had been missing Kokoda so we should head up there. Consequently, the running didn't last long. It was a tough climb up Kokoda but not as bad as I thought it would be. Kaiser struggled though. I guess fur coats don't mix with warm Brissie days and walking up steep hills. By the top, Kaiser had gone through all his water and most of mine too. From the top we headed back along the road towards the cars but Kaiser was really struggling and it wasn't long before he had us slowed to a walk. I didn't mind though, I am always unmotivated to run on road.

All up we did 10km and it was more of a walking pace than anything but we had an awesome time. Plus, I can blame Kaiser for the slow pace :)
