A new route
Yesterday morning Oscar and I set off for our regular 10 km run but this time with a twist.
We started with the regular path via our estate and the wetlands but instead of continuing down the boring bike path we turned left and followed a main road.
This way has a few more hills and the scenery is a hundred times better. Oscar tried to get in a paddock that had some sheep in it so I will have to put him on the lead for that part in the future. Best of all it is a gravel/sandy surface instead of the concrete on the bike track. I realize how much the change of surface would affect me when but when I got home my legs weren't nearly as sore as running on concrete.
We arrived back home in 55 minutes flat. Was held up for a little while by an old man (who had a striking resemblance to Santa Clause) who wanted to pat and talk about Oscar. I guessed 55 minutes with the delay is close to my 10k time.
10 kilometers was confirmed this morning on my bike.
The family and I are heading off to the Gold Coast QLD in the morning. We are staying in a place in Miami and I have packed my running gear. Much to my wife's annoyance I plan to put in a few k's in the area.
I will post more when I return in around a week and a half.
Stay safe all.

Good run Sparks - softer surfaces are much kinder :-)
Sounds like a good run SD. I'd like to be able to run at that pace in training. Hope you have a good time in QLD.
BTW if you think the trains in Vic are bad, you should try Sydney!
Enjoyed the stories of running with Oscar. He must be loving this running caper.
Sydney is a nightmare when it comes to trains. You're not looking for a new job are you?
