Thanks to the Hillbillies for the great company on yet another scenic route!! And a warm welcome to Brett who joined us for the first time today. First of many hopefully! Starting out with just 2 runners, the Dean Street Hillbillies is really growing this year! Hopefully this growth trend will continue - invite your friends, family, colleagues, anyone you know who'd enjoy running with us in the mornings!!!
Here are the stats from this morning:

Route Map:
A hilly route, but much tamer than Tuesday's 15km. Today we stayed well below Kirstenbosch Top Gate level. As I normally do in this neighbourhood (and these particular roads), I took a wrong turn and missed a section that I was hoping to introduce as a new regular shorter route. Turned one road early and basically did an aboutface instead of scenic loop... Oh well, I know where I went wrong this morning, next time I'll keep us on track for the planned route! But there is no such thing as a 'wrong route' on a training run, merely 'interesting detours'! So it turned out a very nice run (with a few hills that I'd forgotten about since I last ventured this way - selective amnesia I guess!).
Good run, good company, great start to the day!!!
Hopefully I'll see most of the hillbillies on Tuesday morning next week, bright and early (well maybe not so bright at 5:30 just yet) and raring to tackle Rhodes Memorial! This route is long overdue, and I'm sure we are all fitter and stronger than last year November when we last conquered Rhodes Mem. See you guys there!
