Blue Mountains Getaway !

Just back from a week away in the beautiful Blue Mountains with my family, a week where the whole family caught up with each other and had many laughs......

.....all supported by the luxury of Lilianfels, the best hotel in the universe...

It was also a week I needed badly as far as running goes, to break the routine and the malaise I was afraid was setting in....how incredible to run thru the bush next to our version of the Grand Canyon, to get back in touch with running solo after a year of running in a group and to refresh my love of running........

Three runs in the week starting at Echo Point...

Along prince Henry Cliff Walk....

To Leura Cascades....

.....and back...a total of 8kms of pure heaven.....

I ran with the group again on Sunday...16kms....feeling refreshed, less concerned with times and more focussed on a steady run "comfortably hard" rather than pushing myself stupid.......just what the Doctor ordered....
