Bois de Boulogne 75 minutes incl 8km tempo ; Steve Runners Shop 10km 37:25 ; Jen Sri Chinmoy 32km Trail Race 1st W60

Early morning run through Bois de Boulogne including an 8km tempo effort in the middle. I used three laps of a triangular long hill XC section all with the added bonus of two prostitutes sitting by the track. They seemed happy just chatting the three times I passed by. Weather in the high 30s today, glad to get that run over.

Nothing to do now except cook a veggie pizza for lunch and wait for the Tour de France to start. This will be the second last chance for Caleb Ewan to grab another win. He's my tip.

Back in Canberra Steve ran the Runners Shop 10km race in 37:25. A solid run throughout during base training and one of his best races out of season. I have no access to results here, thanks for the update Steve.

Also in Canberra Jen ran a 32km trail race. Backing up from her great run in the Gold Coast Half Marathon Jen broke the age race record by 37 minutes! Congratulations Jen.

Good tip. That was an exciting finish. Hope he makes it over the remaining mountains.

Hope he makes it too Ewen. Just watching start of today's coverage on France 2, they've relaxed the cut off times due to heat. Aussie summer temperatures here and three big mountain days to go.

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

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.
