Long Run @ Arboretum

Long solo run out in the Arboretum this morning on the usual loop. I didn't work very had and really enjoyed the warm weather, sun and no wind. This nice spell is set to continue until the weekend at least and great to make the most of it while it lasts.

The split back to home was 83 minutes and another 10 mins to cast my pre-poll election vote at the post office. 20km plus an afternoon loosener of 4k keeps the volume at 120km for this week. It will trickle down from Wednesday on and be below 100km by the race start on Sunday.

Meanwhile down in Bega Keith is firing up for Australian Masters Games as well. He did the same set as I did yesterday with some of the splits not too far behind mine. He should be able to pack a punch in the 5000m at Geelong.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
