Feeling fitter. Calf needs work again. 40 days consecutive running. Only one hard paced session during that time.

I call this pace 'Old Chinese Grandma Pace'. Nice jogging as the sun went down.

Moderate effort. Had to have a nap before heading out for this. Shitty day at work where I ended up with a patient on the floor.

Ran Patterson's Range Fire Trail again, this time following Donna's Track down to the end. Runnable, if not a bit of an uneven, rocky surface in places.

I am 99% sure I saw one of the fabled 'Panthers' that has been spotted around the place up here. Saw a black hind quarter disappear into the bush and initially thought it was a black tailed wallaby - but this was completely silent. Wallabies make an enormous amount of noise. Saw paw prints around the track, but not where I saw this thing though.

Spoke to the people that live at the top of the trail and they have seen fur and bones in animal poo, as well as a wedge tailed eagle eating a wallaby that had been torn apart. They didn't think the eagle could have done that.

Its an ok run, but apart from the view at the end - a little claustrophobic with so much bush around.

Grose Valley, from Donna's track. Could see across to Winmalee.

Inaugural Parramatta Parkrun (official), and my first. Kind of disappointed that I couldn't hang on and drop under 19 mins, but kind of ok with it given that I'm not really doing any training that would increase speed.

Bruce Fordyce was there, and I beat him (who cares if he's a 70 year old ultra runner..) so that's something. Think I came 5th. Took 20 seconds off the SMC 5k I did back in december.

EDIT: Actually came 6th. Winner was Thomas Do Conto in 14:49

Headed up to Bilpin to run on Patterson's Ridge trail. Bit of a drive, but have been running mostly on roads all week. Nicer day up there than the last time. Could see (through the trees) up to Mt Banks. No clear views though unless you trek off the trail I think. Easy run, relatively flat really.

Start, just off Bells Line of Road, Bilpin.
