Mission accomplished...
Starting in Berwick, we headed North to the Highway, to Sweeney Reserve, and along Hallam Valley Trail. A little wet in places under foot, but a really good, wide, quiet trail past some areas that you can only get to on foot.
Rather than return the same way, we headed toward Pound Road, which meant a long, slow hill, before looping around and heading back towards Berwick Springs.
There was nothing overly strenuous or sweaty, just a solid, enjoyable, social trot with time for selfies and road crossings and bio breaks of course! The body held up really well. Just a few minor aches in the knee and hips, but there was plenty of fuel in the tank, and my mind stayed really positive throughout.
Could we have kept running? Absolutely. This is all about gentle build-up, sustainability and learning about what my body can do.
Total time on feet this week is about the time I'm thinking the half marathon will take, so the challenge is to increase the distance - slowly - but keep the time consistent.
Hallam Valley Trail gets the big tick from me :)
