City2Surf Taper ; Happy Birthday Minnie

Only 12km this morning to the arboretum and back (legs are feeling better, 120km in legs last 7 days, tomorrow it will be 100km last 7 days). Helen and Emma ran there as well (I didn't see them) and Minnie ran from home. We all met up at the Arboretum a little later for coffee and chats. A nice way to spend the morning. All of us had the day off work.

It's happy birthday to Minnie today. We have a tradition of cheesecake, champagne and coffee as a way of celebration which began in Australia near Berrima on 12 August 2007 and Epernay France on 12 August 2008. Some images of that day and cheesecakes / champagne past below. Sometimes in coincides with City2Surf as it did in 2012.

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.
