I've just walked in the door, dry salt still on my face, and sweaty and smelly after a great run in one of this morning's Bush Capital events.
From Campbell High School near the Australian War Memorial, runners had their choice of hilly and bushy races from 16 k to a 60 k ultra through the Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura bush reserves. Inviting tracks and trails and Mother Nature's sqwarking, jumping and crawling things were in abundance. There were a few humans here and there as well. They did the running. Like me, who ran in the 25 k event.
It was beaut morning for running, not too cold or too warm with a nice breeze in parts. I really enjoyed my run. I ran easily for the first 12k's or so and had a good chin wag with a bunch of other runners.
About the 15 k mark, I caught up with Emma from my Saturday group and we solved the world's problems during most of the homeward leg. I found our chat a great distraction from those pesky hills that simply refused to flatten out over the race's latter part. I had enough energy for a kick finish and surprised myself by not collapsing at the end.
It was also very pleasing to catch up with some great running buddies and fellow bloggers. My Saturday group were out in force. Ewen , Aki and Friar were there as was the Queen herself, Lucky Legs. It was also really nice to meet Bernie G from Sydney. I am not sure what my finishing time was and I don't care. It was simply good fun.

I have to take issue with your penultimate sentence. Couldn't you at least secretly jot down the finish time.
I waited to comment as I wanted to read all three parts of your last posts at once.
Terrific stuff TD. You certainly raised the bar with those posts, thanks a really fun read.
But seems like you're back to basics with your opening paragraph, "sweaty and smelly" comments on this post.
Glad to hear you had a good run - its always important to enjoy what we're doing; after all why do it! I'm still a little low on motivation so won't be making an appearance at tomorrow's vets run - maybe next month. Thanks for the welcome home too!
Hey TD, I believe you about not knowing the finishing time. I've done that more than once, where you go out to a race for a social run and maybe include a photo shoot along the way. Makes you really appreciate just running, but moreso the company of your running buddies.
It sounds like you had a good time even if the hills didn't flatten out.So how hot is it there??Today here it is 90 and the humidity is 55%.
Have a nice weekend!!
I'm glad to hear you're back after your injury TD. I have to take back my previous comments...it sounds like you and Moty are back together after all.
That was a bit rude not introducing me to Moty Don. I take it she was the runner with film star looks amongst the many at your side prior to the run?
It was a great day. Who would not be a runner?
There was also the Goorooyaroo bush reserve. I just like saying that name :)
It sounds like a terrific event Don. I glad you enjoyed it so much. It is so good to have the old Don back. Make sure you keep Moty close by.
Sorry I missed you Don. I had a great day running around those trails in the Nation's capital. I did the 60km while Belinda ran the 16km. Hope to be back again next year.
It was nice to meet you. I hope to be back next year, I really enjoyed it.
Hi Don, oh for a nice casual 25kms! Sounds like a great run!
Enjoyed your moty posts and your account of your time in England too - alas I was not a runner when I was there in '96 !
Good to catch up again. Keep the moty going now!
Cheers, MAR.
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog.Glad you had such a fantastic run - sounds like a really good day. I loved your story about Moty. Does she have a spunky friend called Mojo to keep me company? I need him desperately!!
Love your comment on my blog, TD, the bit, about "not having reached my peak yet"!! Can't stop laughing!!!
