Long hilly run at threshold

Too much wind for a trip out to Stromlo. Instead a run from home, down to the lake, out 10km, back 10km. First km warm up, 18km at lower threshold (4:00s on flat, 4:20s in wind and hills, 4:30s back up the 200m elevation from the lake), 1km warm down. All done on the bitumen to get the legs ready for the half marathon in a fortnight.

This afternoon an easy run with Bella.

170km in the legs this week and will average well over 30km for the month. December will be my best month since returning to running in 2007.

On New Years Day the load will lighten and hopefully the leg speed will improve, especially with access to a track again, a new one at that.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. 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.
