Jogging in Reverse
Jogging in Reverse, NOT Backwards Running!!
Yesterday it was a jog around Mt Ainslie in a Clockwise direction, the usual Mt Ainslie courses being anti-clockwise.
Started from the back of the War Memorial, near Campbell High School, and the intention was to do a long run, but the feeling after getting onto the lower slopes, was, today is not going to be possible to do two laps. So continuing onwards and upwards and was faster down the eastern side just after the saddle, just one lap, which however turned out to cover 10km.
The run along the eastern track was easier with the following wind.
But what a different perspective, the hills looked different than when trying to jog up.
Past the rifle range on a weekday, was eerie, because there were no shots being fired, it was all quiet.
Today at Customs Joggers hoping the sun will emerge as it does in Canberra about midday.
Until Next Time

You're right about the hills looking different when you come at them from a different direction. I find for me that this came be a recipe for getting lost. Even when I am retracing my steps in reverse, thing look so different at times it is disorientating.
