Me

I have been in a holding pattern for a week. With two weeks to a marathon I have inflamed tendons in the ankle directly from running in spikes in the 10000m in Hobart. I am still running 10km a day but nothing very fast, longer on the weekends. At this stage I just need to make the start line without taking any risks. All the hard work is done anyway. It may be biomechanical...I made some changes this evening and they seemed to work.

Unless I am completely stupid in the next 14 days I will line up for Marathon de Paris in good shape and run hopefully well. A blessing is that I will have to be much more cautious early in the race...hopefully that pays off later...see what happens.

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.
