Half marathon on crazy trails

I turned up for the run and as expected I was the only one, but very luckily I met the guy Ive been needing to run with! Someone who is faster and probably even more keen. Thats what you need! So my predicted 5 miler today turned into a 14 miler. This was even more than a half marathon as I ran home an extra mile to get the spikes! it was time to get deep into the trail. We did the hoodoo trail and carried on deep into sidewalk and teddy bears picnic following the forest all the way alongside Rundle.

So the trail clearly wasnt quite ready with treacherous ice sections that lead us round cliff tops that we had to climb round. We even hit a part so snowed over that we got lost and had to climb up a cliff! The bushes rustled knowing full well the bears are awake! We both actually bleed a bit from the bush, but in the midst of laughing hysterically I realized this is what I was born to do! Good times. It was so much fun and remembered how much I love 'proper' trail running. This was as proper as it gets.
