Stromlo Running Festival : Ploddle

Yesterday an 11km warm down with friends, watching the Lightning Strike 10km and 30km races conclude. The atmosphere much more relaxed than the day before. A chance to chat, watch, check results and so on.


10km results: (three good friends) 1st Robyn ; 2nd Michelle ; 3rd Heidze

Concluded the morning with lunch on top of Mt Stromlo in the old observatory cafe Scope with some of the day's winners and groupies.. Lovely views, nice and relaxed, spent some of my winnings on a petite cheesecake:-)



This week the last of my taper. Only one session on Tuesday to prepare for the ACT 5000m championships on Friday. Otherwise it is only jogging and keeping the load at around 80km for the week.

I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
