More rain overnight with lightning strikes out at sea and cloud cover reducing visibility. And nobody outdoors. Back to bed to wait until first light appeared.followed by a trip to the beach  with munchkin The border Collie at low 🌊 de on fast firm sand.

Rain overnight turning to light drizzle by morning with some wind . We ran everything from home, with plenty of fast efforts only travelling for food in town.

Another chilly start to the day, warming up as the day progressed. This morning a trip South to run a set of 3 x 2km efforts on firm, fast sand at dead low tide racing munchkin The border Collie.

Another chilly morning with the sun peeking out around mid-morning. We were lucky to spot a pod of dolphins close to shore. I got some decent faster efforts done on the well used coast path. Tourists are still in town being a public holiday for the king's birthday. In the afternoon I will run my regular hill loop as a maximum threshold effort.

Another chilly start to the day which warmed up well before lunch. We covered 30km in the morning including a couple of short leg speed sets up hill. Being a public holiday up in Canberra there are an unusual amount of tourists about. In the afternoon I will run another maximum threshold run on my regular hill loop.

Another chilly start to the day, we all managed to find each other along the coast trail under full sunshine. We included some long, fast efforts before all heading out separate ways.

Another very cool morning . We ran from home first with some fast paced Intervals before heading to our favourite beach and ran 2 x 500m efforts racing munchkin The border Collie,,,she always wins... In the afternoon a slow recovery run.

After a cold morning the day was mostly sunny with some wind at times. After lunch I ran another maximum threshold run with Munchkin the Border Collie on the beach at low tide. Once again she was quicker than me and  spent her stops in sea puddles dog paddling while she waited for me to catch up..

This morning warm and sunny with the bonus of a bait ball frenzy fought out by a school dolphins and with some whales having passed through while singing a short time earlier. I headed south this morning to escape the many traffic jam roadworks currently underway on the highway. Munchkin the Border Collie and I raced each other on a deserted beach at dead low tide on firm, fast sand. Munchkin the clear winner.

Very early this morning I ran 13km under moonlight from home in preparation for watching the final Stage and conclusion of the years Giro dItalia. It has been many years since I was last in Europe watching the European cycling in person,,,,I still miss it. Maybe I will make again one day. I have fond memories of the last visit to Europe which included lots of travel  including chasing the riders every where including Italy. I made it back from my midnight run to watch the Giro on TV.   I can't wait until Tour de France commences.

A cold start to the day with few people out in the cold. I delayed my journey to the start before meeting and greeting friends along the route. In the end it was a lovely morning with lots of chats and banter out there.. also today the Whales started returning to out waters on their winter migration north. Several whales could be easily seen from our lookout across the road. I saw whales breaching out of the water with huge splashes, it's so good to see them again.
