Long Trails Recovery Run 17km

A dreary day of rain. I got out for a muddy and wet 17km run on forest trails with all the gear on. First 5km with Milli the Border Collie up Mount Painter before heading back out on my own. The rain will continue in patches for a few days with very cold weather, wind and snow on the surrounding hills.

It looks like there will be a break in weather on Friday morning to get an 8000m XC trial done at Stromlo XC circuits as planned. The surface will be saturated. Less rain on Saturday should allow a normal session to go ahead. Nicer weather (although cold) will return from Monday.

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.
