Weekend wanderings, in brief

I am a bit disquieted today, and simply a bit sad. I’ve got a million confused thoughts running circles in my head. They refuse to order themselves into coherence. So, I don’t have much to say.

I will give a quick training update. Saturday morning I headed over to the coast for my first longer run in a while. It went really well for me, so well that I am beginning to suspect the odometer in our car is playing tricks. (I’ve got to find a trail with marked out mileage to compare paces.) But, maybe it was just my support cheering me on that gave me a spark.

After my run, we packed up the car and drove down near Brighton to camp for the night. It was cold, but on Sunday we warmed ourselves by hiking up to Black Cap and over to the beacon on Mount Harry. The views weren’t clear because it was so misty, but it was still a good hike in the countryside.

Saturday’s run

Distance: 6.0 miles
Time: 56:47
Pace: 9:27 min/mile

Sunday’s hike

Up to Black Cap, over to Mount Harry beacon and down again: 1:15:00
