Keith 1500m 5:31 ; Steve 4 x 500m ; Me 5 x 1km, 500m recovery

Friday afternoon a long run of 17km on bike path. I snuck it in before a birthday party with running friends. We regrouped on Saturday morning at Stromlo for a jog in the rain. The track wasn't bad when we arrived, completely saturated when we left after coffee. I did get out later in the day for a set of 5 x 1km efforts, 500m jog recovery. The worst of the rain should be over by Sunday morning when we have an ACT Masters XC handicap of 7km. The course is expected to be muddy.

Keith on Thursday ran 1500m at home in 5:31. Splits (500m): 1:50,1:51,1:50

Steve on Saturday before our arrival ran 4 x 500m at Stromlo. Splits: 1:33,1:32,1:29,1:29

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.
