Long Run #26 : Stromlo XC 18km

Very wet and lush on the circuit this morning along with a fog and very high humidity...later a nice sunny morning.

18km all up with the first 10km progressively quicker, the last 8km recovery mode.
Splits: 505,430,421,416,415,414,410,410,400,400 then recovery.

Hopefully I have left the ankle issue behind now. A change of shoes and lots of self physio during the week has me back on track. From Tuesday to Friday I did the same run each day with the dog, 6km up and down the mountain.

I expect tomorrow will be at the ACTVAC handicap where I can do a short 4km effort at marathon pace.

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.
