Long, straight country roads ...
For the next six weeks, these long country roads are going to keep me company quite a bit. It is only six weeks until the Rocky Mountain Half Marathon in Canmore and my training has been somewhat sporadic. Due to my frequent travels, a (slightly) more active social life, poor weather and a lack of motivation, I haven't done nearly as much training as I should have. I feel pretty fit, I just need to get the kilometres under my belt so my body gets used to running 21 kilometres in one go. I went for my first long run in a few weeks on the weekend. It felt good. The roads are great to run on ... long, straight, gentle hills and minimal traffic. Running on these roads offers a different perspective from which to view the countryside. The time passes reasonably quickly when you have such spectacular scenery. I just need to get out there more often. Country roads, get ready to get used to me!
... with spectacular views
Lush, green paddocks
Peeking through the trees to a dam
No hunting
An overgrown creek
Some friendly onlookers
An art car
It's not every day you see a deer cross your running path ... oh hang on, I'm in Canada, yes it is every day!
