Parkrun Coombs 17:27 2nd ; Stromlo XC 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m

Foggy and still at both Parkrun Coombs and Stromlo. Good weather for running. Parkrun Coombs 2nd in 17:27, winner Daniel M20-24 16:15, quick on that course especially with a loose dog at the 2.5km dead turn. I had competition to hold down 2nd place, getting a gap with 1500m to go and pulling away by 17 seconds at the finish.
Splits(500m):1:37,1:43,1:42,1:40,1:43,(dead turn)1:52,1:44,1:41,(dead turn)1:48,1:44,07).

After Parkrun off to Stromlo for a set of 2000m 7:43,1500m 5:04,1000m 3:25,500m 1:40. A solid morning of running,19km including warm up and warm down. Coffee followed the session.

Next set on Sunday if I pull up OK. I am having trouble fitting in sessions during the week. Session will be paced at 3:10/km or better.

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.
