Sunday Hills -- September 10

Wondering whether I'd get out on Sunday, saved from dithering by a phone call from Mark (at the office!). Agreed to meet at the Notch for a hill run. He was a bit late, so I did some warm up and thought of a two-car route (cutting out some boring and busy road). Left my car there, and in his car went down to Batchelor, parking under the powerlines. Ran from there to Mechanic street exit, climbed up that and over the hill, down the other side (some moderately technical bits) and out on to Bay. Then back up to the Notch via the old (railway?) slope trail.

Time: 58:11
Speed: 6.6 mph
Distance: 6.41 miles

Comment: very pleasant run, with the added bonus of picking up a large puffball for dinner (looked a bit funny running along with it, I think--Mark pointed out it looked like a skull!). Easy pace, varied surfaces -- just right!
