A cool morning  with all runs done from home and lots of socializing along the way 7km all up for the morning. In the afternoon a maximum threshold run on my regular hill loop

All runs done from home again today in great weather, full sun, no wind. With the weather so good many friends were out enjoying the weather. In the afternoon a maximum threshold run on my regular hill loop 

All runs done from home this morning . After rain overnight the day was sunny with blue skies. I ran 12km in the morning and a second run in the afternoon with a highlight spotting emus and dolphins, easily seen from the coast path.

This morning up before dawn to run 14km  in the dark , weather cloudy, no wind. After the run I braved the traffic jams and drove to moruya and return to food shop. The traffic coordination on the highway is diabolical requiring a lot of patience with very long queue waiting. I will be very happy when things return to normal.

All runs done from home today, roadwork on the main road from the highway is a bebacle with long delays. Until the roadworks near completion I will likely bunker down here, especially with rain overnight predicted.I still got in another 30km of running today.

All running done from home this morning b15kmcovered  before heading to Narooma for shopping.in the afternoon a second run.

This morning 29km of running a long the coast path before a trip to Narooma before things turned for the worst with a very long delay on the only road to my place with a car crash blocking the road and several ambulance further delaying my return home. I was very lucky getting that 30km done early in the morning.  Back to normal early tomorrow morning fingers crossed.

This morning a cold wind from the south greeted us. We covered  29km and barely warmed up before retreating indoors.

This morning a 9km run from home at first light including socializing with friends and others out on the local coast path. Weather cool with infrequent light spots of drizzle. In the afternoon a maximum threshold threshold run on my regular hill loop.

This morning a 7,km run from home with munchkin The border Collie along the coast path greeting fellow dog walkers and friends including a short walk to the lookout and back, weather sunny, no wind.

Today was my final day of competition in this Australian Masters athletics Championships for me with 2nd place in the m60 8000m run to go along with my 3rd place in the m65 10000m run on track a week prior. From tomorrow I will have a period of active recovery before committing to anything more strenuous. And I will enjoy this period  and focus on hehab of my hamstrings which I damaged in the 10000m event on day 1 of these championships.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
