On a bright and sunny day in Sydney, I decided to go for a run and take in the view from Sydney Harbour Bridge. Just kidding! As you can see, it was cold, grey, and gloomy, but I wasn’t about to let that stop me from grabbing my camera and going for a run. Most of the pictures were taken blindly with the GoPro in a wrist mount and a few were taken with an iPhone and thrown in for good measure.
As you’ll see from the abundance of pics that I took, it wasn’t a run based on breaking any world records, but more of a run to discover Sydney. The last time we were in Sydney, Mr. TSG was kind enough to run and take pics for the Running in Sydney post, but this time I was giving it a go.
Any good run early in the day should be met with a huge climb up a set of stairs, like these at the Hickson Steps. Fun!
Go left and you’ll head out to Cahill Walks and the Botanic Gardens and the Sydney Opera House. Turn right and you’ll go over Sydney Harbour Bridge. Looks like I’m turning right.
I highly recommend strapping on your sneakers and go for a run in a new city or destination as it will give you a different perspective than what you might get while walking or riding in a car. You should definitely take all safety precautions and don’t be careless, but in the end you’ll have priceless memories to take home with you.
