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.

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.
