Icy Blast Hilly Trails Run 13km ; Magpie Swoop

Tuesday afternoon 13km trails run. So windy I didn't want to get out there. I convinced myself it would only be 4km all up straight into a 50kph+ gale and the sun was shining and got out there. I had a whopping tail wind for the final 4km :-) Snow on the nearby ranges and freezing mornings to come, then rain. I'll take it day by day.

We were swooped by a plover on Saturday morning at Stromlo, I can confirm that the Stromlo magpie is still alive, swooped near his tree near home. Mild winter, early babies.

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.
