10 nov 2013 – bonfire heart

and so the day has arrived. my first ever trail run. 15km (approximately) up in the John Forrest National Park.

i’m writing this at 3:40am and am simultaneously excited and bricking it. it’s a bush trail, it’s the time of year that our cold-blooded, legless, reptilian native creatures wake up, and go out on the search for food and mating.

i don’t like them. this run will be more confronting fear-wise than tough mudder…
