OK, that's what it FELT like...... The Kings Park trails at 11am seem a bit like this - hot, soft and never-ending. Each section of trail is actually quite short, but they criss-cross and link to paved sections and the main ring road so much that a neverending meandering path is possible. A tough day out, with plenty of soft sand, a couple of flat grassed sections, and a few grassy downhills to up the pace. No sharp hills or rocky terrain, though - these area areas I'd like to put the fingens through their paces on, just to get the feel for a tough cross-county.
Not much of the "blasting along" that would've come from a good cross country trail, so finding a good one will become a priority for Saturday runs, while the kid is at her morning activities.
A highlight of today: helicopters! We were given a great little copter for Christmas by our wonderful friends in Brisbane. Unfortunately, two kids and one toy didn't work out, so I bought myself another littler one. Now wecan have dogfights around the lounge room...
These things are darn clever, and a lot of fun.
And a lowlight: locksmiths.
In our enthusiasm to try the copters in the carpark, the door closed and locked behind us. $165 later, the locksmith, with his best smirk, suggested we keep a spare key.....
Good to do cash jobs on Saturdays.
