Parkrun Coombs 27:42 70th ; Stromlo 5 x 1 min, 1 min jog ; Steve 4 x 500m, 3 min jog

Morning runs at Parkrun Coombs and Stromlo XC circuits. Weather cool and very windy, snow on the way to nearby hills. I ran Parkrun Coombs with Milli the Border Collie in our slowest time yet. After that on to Stromlo for some 100m strides and 5 x 1 minute strides, 1 minute jog recovery on the undulating 2.5km circuit. All up 13km for the morning. Steve ran 4 x 500m with 3 minutes recovery. Splits: 1:39,1:36,1:36,1:30.

Sunday morning is Canberra Times Running Festival with events 50km down to 1km. I am running the 10km. Weather will be cold and very windy. I will have to start relatively fast and find the fastest people I can to stick with and hide from the wind. Due to the twisting nature of the course stretches into the wind will be short.

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.
