Stromlo XC Long Run : Keith in Canberra

My first July in Australia since 2007, I completely forgot how cold it is. This morning out to Stromlo to rest the feet on grass, completely forgot Canada Day Fun Run at same venue. I did 5km with the slow runners before going off-course for a bit, returned after most of the runners had finished. All up 78 minutes. KT won Female 5km race.

Yesterday Keith at Stromlo 3 x 2000m: 7:27 (3:34 ; 3:53), 7:26 (3:40 ; 3:46), 7:32 (3:38, 3:53). The 2000m loop has a hill after 1000m, I regularly lose 15 seconds up it, Keith similar. Today Keith 21km run on the drive home.

It looks like very cold mornings all week. I'll get out for my runs in the middle of the day, aiming for a speed session tmoz.

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.
