Long Runs : More Hills ; Rottnest Island 10 Years Ago : World Masters Athletics Championships Taper Venue

Yesterday a long run in the Arboretum including ascent to Dairy Farmers Hill. Today long run in the Arboretum racing cyclists up Bindubi Street Hill (wind in their faces, make nice wind breaks). Postponed fast paced session until tomorrow morning, I'm having a no work day.

10 years ago today I wasn't running at all, a cyclist instead. I made a solo trip to Rottnest Island (my second visit) and had a beach escape. That trip eventually lead Minnie and myself running the Rottnest Marathon on almost no running training, the resumption of my love for running. I'll be there again for taper week in the World Masters Athletics Championships in October. Below some images from all my trips there from 1993, 2006, 2007 and soon 2016. By coincidence Rottnest Marathon is on there again when I will be there, maybe do the 5km fun run?

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

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.
