A tour of Manly 22ks

Finally out for a run at 6pm with the sun still out and it was 27 degrees and 70% humidity and no sign of a cold southerly.
Started at Fairy Bower and ran down to Queenscliff and up past the lagoon, then across to Manly golf course and then through Manly lagoon and across to Manly Vale.
Some nice hills in Manly Vale as I ran up to Manly Dam and a short bush section to exit at North Balgowlah. From there it was down to Seaforth and underneath the Spit Bridge. Around the bush to Clontarf and then up through the hills of Balgowlah Heights.

Then back down to Balgowlah and along Little manly cove, past the penguins and the wharf to arrive back home absolutely stuffed.
Total was 22.3ks in 1:51:53. Average pace of 5:01 per klm. Some heavy hills in the 2nd half of this run plus a bit of bush running with stairs.
