altitude training

well friday night i had a function on for work. it was good, but i figured that the coolrunning drinks would be more opportunity to discuss mileage :) so i headed there. i was pretty late but it was great to catch up with a few of the stayers. ended up being a fairly large night and i had a BIG headache the next day.

nonetheless on saturday morning i ended up getting out for 45 mins in the city which was alternatively pleasant and nauseating depending on what i was thinking about (the weather vs my head).

saturday afternoon my mum and i headed up on the train to katoomba for a very pleasant weekend. i figured that it was an excellent opportunity to try out some of the trails that everyone raves about but by the time i remembered to ask people i had to leave work so didn't get a chance to read replies! however, i went for a very very cold, very very hilly run around katoomba for a total of 75 mins. was fantastic but OMG it is cold up there! i ran with footless tights, proper leggings on top of those, a mountain designs long sleeve top and another running jacket and didn't ever think about taking anything off. but i've always been a wimp for cold :) roll on summer!

i am definitely going to go up again soon to try some of the proper runs. i really enjoyed the fresh air too!
