BBQ Stakes 6.1km XC 23:09 as 7 x 3 minute intervals, 30 seconds jog ; Steve 3 x 2000m

Weather awful as a cold front passes through dumping snow on surrounding hills, very strong winds, no sun. At BBQ Stakes hilly 6km XC run a set done in full body cover as 7 x 3 minute efforts with 30 seconds jog recovery. My total time 23:09, Helen same set in 31 minutes with a warm up during start of run.

At Stromlo XC circuit in similar awful conditions Steve ran 3 x 2000m efforts in 7:33, 7:36 and 7:48.

An afternoon recovery run for me, long recovery run on Thursday, Friday and Saturday shorter easy runs to freshen up for City2Surf 14km road race on Sunday.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
