Arrived at Waverton, just in time to see the 6am group heading out in the predawn light to run the Striders Harbourside Hike course. I caught up by the 2km mark, so much for a slow easy start to warm up. It surprised me how strong I felt running hard on the early hills in order to join the group. From here it was great easy running, chatting along the way, still catching up on news of post Christmas holidays, plans for the year and injuries. The course covers the lower north shore, traversing some beautiful urban bushland trails and of course the harbour foreshore. Covered an abbreviated 20km version in 2:05 feeling like I could have gone further.
Finished the morning with a swim at another hidden Sydney gem – Malabar Beach - watching the start of the Malabar to Little Bay 2.7km ocean swim. This mornings run was a great confidence booster - maybe I will be fit in time for the Six Foot Track Marathon in three weeks time?

Very confident that you will match your previous time at 6FT. The next two weeks will see you peaking nicely.
It has been an up and down week but I have decided to run the 6FT. The worst it can do is rip me up and spit me out to crawl along the Black Range.
