Parkrun Coombs 17:35 1st ; Stromlo XC Intervals 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m : Steve 2 x 2500m

Very cold morning for Parkrun. First race in memory when the temperature after the finish was below zero at minus 2 degrees. I had a solid warm up and strides which enabled me to run in singlet and gloves although upper body was numb. After Parkrun off to Stromlo for a session of 2000m,1500m,1000m,500m, starting slow and increasing to 3:12/km. Coffee followed. Grass was still not runable when I arrived, by end of second warm up the frost had melted. Steve ran 2 x 2500m this morning. Splits: 9:19,9:13. He then warmed down with a 19:30 Parkrun Tuggeranong.

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.
