Hey Team …. well my mission to run 12 Marathons in 12 months continued with number 8 in what turned out to be another epic screwy adventure. The plan was to run from Kallangur to Nth Pine Dam then up and over Clear Mt and across towards Samford going up and over Basin Mt and on into Dayboro for coffee and donuts. The run started nicely with cool overcast conditions and was clearing as I approached Nth Pine Dam. However across the dam the air was getting heavy with smoke and I realized that there were bushfires burning across my run route. I then started a zig-zag run to get around the back of the fire zone and up over Clear Mt. Got through the fire zone without any danger (apart from near suffocating) and once on top I enjoyed a beautiful sunny day on the roads and trails to Dayboro. Got the fright of my life when I nearly trod on a snake laying in the sun on the side of Mt Samson Rd. I don’t who jumped more , the snake or me ! Got some great pic and vids along the way. Probably should spend more time running and less time fluffing around. In the end it was 44.3km in 6hrs 53mins wooohooo Big THANKS to Infinit Nutrition and Squeaky Cheeks
