The Hills

So, once I started I couldn't stop!


Feeling great after a different route than usual this morning. I ended up taking the high road to Houghton in the Adelaide hills from my mums house in Highbury. 


Ended up jogging 13.5 Km (personal best) and a large amount of it was uphill.
Once I got to a the first township I stopped to turn back. I made it to a small town called Houghton thinking there would be a general store where I could grab a bottle of water. 
Instead, I ended up knocking on the door of a house that I spotted with an outdoor tap. I didn't get an answer so I went for the tap. Whilst spitting out a spider and taking a sip, I hear from behind my shoulder in a soft voice, "excuse me?"


"Sorry love, just wanted some water..."


'Adelaide Hills mum,' did offer me some country hospitality, but I declined. Politely opting for the run back down to the suburban sprawl instead. 

13.5 Km...Yep
