Minus 6 degrees : Long Run Day

A very late start this morning, frost all around. I wasn't even tempted to jog down to the lake and cheer on the Canberra Half Marathoners. I hope they all ran well. Nice weather for it. 96 minutes in the Arboretum just before noon. A small recovery jog this afternoon to make up 24km and 128km last 7 days.

Meanwhile Keith did his 21km mountain run trialing a gel. He did something right as he was 19 minutes quicker than usual. Maybe it was the gel or maybe he is in great form. Merimbula Fun Run next weekend.

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.
