This week has been a bit warmer (low-mid 30s) and this morning unfortunately Seth and I got up a bit late and went running at 9:30. It is only 8 days past the summer solstice so the sun was sure blaring! Even though the UV is very high, it is comforting to know that from here on out the sun will gradually be decreasing in intensity.
Seth designed a "double hat" to help block the sun- he wears a wide brimmed straw hat over his running hat. It looks pretty kooky, but it does the trick!
Similar to when we are at Johns and run along Black Mtn, here in Woden I run a circuit around Mt Taylor with Seth then he carries on for another hour by himself. One of the nicest things about Canberra is that the city is full of nature reserves, so that no matter where you live you are never far from some good dirt trails. I can't wait to get back to Black Mtn, however. Mt Taylor has very little shade and the slopes are very long and gradual and always seem to be going up. I hate Mt Taylor.
