Stromlo Mountain Trail Run 17km

Afternoon mountain run from the car park to near top of Mount Stromlo with Milli the Border Collie on forest trails. Awful weather up there, cold with strong winds, light hail (frozen rain)...I only saw one person who was on MTB on the fun and twisting downhill course. We parked ourselves to the side as they rode past. It was bleak and fun.

Rain Event Continues ; Indoor Training ; Tour de France Begins this Weekend with start and finish in Lille

Heavy rain with Gale Force Winds Overnight and continuing today. This weather system should move off the coast in a day or two. Today just indoor training with the odd walk outside to get food at the local store. Tour de France commences this weekend in Lille. Even though I've run over most of the stages over previous years I still get excited every year when it comes around again. The weather today here is very similar to when I visited Lille in 2014 for the Grand depart, cold, miserable and still excited to be there. I got out there for a second Fast Paced run this afternoon on my HillLoop. No change in the weather and another 15km done for the day.
