Recovery Run 10km

Friday afternoon recovery run from home of 10km. Weather very warm and windy. I won't have to fit this around around work next week as it's Christmas Day and I'll be taking a six week holiday. Saturday morning is my 50th Parkrun and I'm excited by the prospect of earning a t-shirt and surviving Covid and the bush fires and a torn thigh in late 2019 to get here. It's been a bit of a squeeze to get this done by New Year, we are all glad it's back while it lasts. A small group of friends will be there tomorrow morning to share my joy.

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.

This morning a quick meet and greet of my friends before heading to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on firm, fast sand. Weather cool, no wind. Our maximum threshold session was great with the beaches deserted. The session would have been perfect except for munchkin leaping out of the car with her harness being attached. It took a long time to correct this puppy brain fade.
