Secret Blog for Killing Track and Parkrun PBs

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.

This morning up before first light to meet, greet and chat with friends along our coast path. The ocean swells are still too rough to swim in although many made their way along the coast while keeping out of harms way..All up another 30km this morning. In the afternoon another maximum threshold run on my regular hill loop.

Today a lovely morning until the ☔ came making for a quick retreat. I ran another 30km for  the morning. With a maximum threshold run from home in the afternoon. Just before last light. Surf is still up and dangerous.

After some wet days this morning was dry aside from the thunderstorms out to sea. None of these storms made land on the coast. I ran 20km in the morning, in the afternoon another maximum threshold run from home on my regular hill loop.

Up early to start the day, 11km run before rain set in, a lot of rain expected over the next week. Thankfully the local shop should get us through this wet period.

More rain overnight and into this morning with hazardous surf a long the coast and many beaches closed. 

More light rain overnight bringing more rainbows. I got out there for a solid run from home just after first light. Very few people out there this morning, best to stay in bed. With a lot more rain expected over the next week or more with a big dump coming it remains to be seen wow bad this rain event becomes. The ocean is bringing in huge swells.I ran 27km this morning.
