I went back to do the section of the trail missed on my last run, which meant a loop starting at Myponga starting at Causeway Road and heading past Heysen’s Rest.
It was a lovely day and the views heading toward the Myponga Conservation Park were wonderful. The running was easy until I got to the park, where I needed to watch my footing on some of the rocky and steeper sections.
Head down, picking my way up the slope and singing along to my Spotify playlist, I looked up at the last moment to see two trail walkers heading in the opposite direction. I don’t know who was more startled!
Exiting the park I followed the trail and found the clearly marked turn off at Martinga Park I missed on the previous run. Then it was back down James Track to Myponga, where I did a short run on the path alongside the Myponga Reservoir which is now open for walking, cycling and recreational fishing. It would make a lovely walk on a nice day, but as for me, I was off to the bakery for coffee and bun.
