Stromlo XC 12km Recovery Run

5am run at Stromlo XC circuit. Weather cool, no wind. Air quality moderate, some smoke haze, no need for a face mask.

12km this morning at 5:00/km. Left calf has improved a little. I can see the possibility of running without pain by the weekend if I am careful. I should be at full volume as early as tomorrow.

Rain and lots of it forecast over coming days. It will be a welcome relief. Often in Australia droughts end with a deluge. I expect there will be some flooding and bring a lull to the bush fires, along with it better air quality. There is still months of summer to come.

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.
