Long Run #24 : Not the Weston Creek Half Marathon

Woke late this morning and jogged down to the Weston Creek Half Marathon course at around the 2km mark (4km from my home). I needed many stops and starts to get going with some referred pain from my back and hamstring running down to my left ankle. This niggle a result of all the hard racing last weekend. It wasn't long before I saw the leaders returning home and then some friends (KT the first, 3rd female). I said hello to all of them. I ran out just over 10km from home and turned around...my not half marathon.

My splits got progressively quicker from 5:40/km down to 3:40/km on the return home. The final 4km up the hill was very slow into the wind. Well done to all who took out placings.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
