Glasshouse Rocks Run 15km ; Warm Down 2km ; Afternoon Run 7km ; Humpback Whale Spotting

Around Noon I spotted my first Humpback Whales from the point across the Road for the season moving very slowly north in calm Glasslike Ocean. I had my camera in hand and look forward to some windy weather when the whales can breach out of the ocean.
Early morning Low tides will be progressively later this week making this morning's favourable tide the best we'll see until next Sunday. Munchkin and I ran 15km there this morning in great conditions and a joy to be on fast, firm sand at full Pace. Back at home a 2km warm down. In the afternoon a recovery Run.

Long Hilly Run 20km ; 4 x 100m, 3 x 200m, 3 x 300m strides

This morning out for a long, hilly 20km in 84 minutes. Plenty of others out there getting the job done before the heat of the day. Spotted Ewen out there at one point putting in a surge I could barely match. In the afternoon still hot. I ran 5km including 4 x 100m (19,17,15,14), 3 x 200m (32,31,31) and 3 x 300m (51,48,48) strides. Legs felt good once they got going. All up 25km for the day, 122km last 7 days. Monday morning a long run including 5 x 100m strides (18,16,15,14,14) and a 600m effort at 3:10/km. On New Years Day 5km Parkrun events at 730am Gungahlin and 930am Tuggeranong. I'll run the first flat out. If I am able to I'd like to break the current M55 record on the Tuggeranong course. It's held by Simon Claringbold with 4 identical times of 17:26. I'm not sure I can on my current form, especially as a second run for the day. If I can't I'll try later in the year when I am fresh and it's a little cooler.
