Australian Parkruns Cancelled, Government Direction Not to Travel Overseas ; Long Recovery Run with Milli the Border Collie

This morning emails to alert of the cancellation of Australian Parkruns, possibly until the end of April at this stage. There will be plenty of Canberrans not knowing what to do on a Saturday morning...coffee! :-) Further the Federal Government directed people not to travel outside Australia, urging Australians currently overseas to return home, curiously allowing foreigners to enter the country freely since overwhelmingly positive virus cases are overseas born.

This morning a recovery run with Milli the Border Collie. We both enjoyed a romp on the deserted pipeline trail, the great views and kangaroos. I have four weeks leave left to enjoy running without fitting it in around work. It's a glorious autumn day, I spent some time in the garden.

Next set tomorrow morning at Stromlo XC circuits with Steve. The set shorter intervals (600m or less) starting at 3:10/km (1:54) working down to 3:00/km (1:48).

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.
