Long Run Aranda Bush Trails 95 minutes

Morning run on Aranda bush trails including 5km with Milli the Border Collie. Stromlo XC circuit is closed due to potential bush fires over the next 2-3 days. In 2003 fires swept over Mount Stromlo, destroying pine forests (where the running trails are now) and into suburbs within a few kilometres of the city centre (including Cook where I lived back then and trained today). Fires will possibly affect the southern suburbs of Canberra. Temperatures into the 40s with strong winds as well. Air quality today was hazardous (lots of smoke)reducing to moderate in the morning. I wore a face mask during the run.

Tomorrow I'll aim to do an easy Parkrun again. Sunday a long run of 20km on bush trails again. I'm back at full volume again.

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.
