Secret Blog for Killing Track and Parkrun PBs

This morning a run along the river to the heads scoping out venue of the upcoming River Arts Festival in September.

Morning run with the dog to the beach and back via the golf course including a set of long tempo intervals as 2km, 2 x 1km and a 1500m hill to finish. No whales today, more luck with dolphin spotting, a pod riding in the waves looking for breakfast.

Morning run from home through the golf course and forest trails down to the beaches and back. Glorious weather after overnight storms. Spring a little early this year. It's still months until I race again at the Australian Masters Athletic Championships, Tasmania in March. I'm really enjoying building the training base up again without any pressure to run fast. I don't even need to think about structured training until the new year.

Morning run on forest trails down to the beaches and return with the dog at low tide.

Morning run from home via Golf Course, Beach and End of month Market (pizza and coffee)

Morning run up the coast and back with the dog. Many Humpback whales thrashing about off all the beaches on their return migration to Antarctica which will continue for a few more months.

Sunny morning recovery run on golf course and beach with the dog. Lovely weather again, spring is coming fast.

Morning run on the beach at low tide including 6 x 1km, 3 x 2km with a long break between sets. Weather full sun, light winds.

Heavy storms overnight clearing to a warm, sunny day. The run today from home, through the golf course to the beach and return incorporation a 1500m hill.

Today the run out and back from Dog Beach, a secluded cove  in the colder months, busy in summer. Today just Milli and myself.

Early morning long run start and finish at the beach for coffee. Weather full sun, cool to warm.

Overnight drizzle continued overnight clearing to a sunny day, too late to make a safe trip to Parkrun. Instead a run chasing the dog out and back over three beaches at a solid pace.

Persistent drizzle and rain throughout the morning, I delayed the run until afternoon. I hoped the weather improved, it didn't. Rest day instead.

Morning run on forest trails and beach at low tide. After the run some whale spotting and coffee at the Marina.

Another blue sky day starting and finishing the run at the beach. The dog and I lingered for a picnic brunch.

Rain dried up overnight, full sun today. I enjoyed the golf course yesterday, repeated the same 17km grass and beach out and back run with the dog. Milli the Border Collie is in peak form, both of us having a great tempo run.

Morning run through the hilly golf course to the beaches and return, 17km. Weather light persistent rain. Looks like a day indoors.

Morning recovery run with the dog. A good way to wind down from all the Matildas football action from last evening by watching humpback whales breaching off the beach as we ran. Up in Sydney it was City2Surf mass participation 14km fun run (approx 80,000). I head from my friends who ran well. Jen was 1st in W65-69. others started back of the pack.
