Stromlo 5 X 300m Hill Strides Canberra Half Marathon

Morning hill session at Stromlo of 5 X 300m hill strides on the criterium track, moderate slope. Grass track was rain affected, school xc carnival also setting up. Right hamstring is good after running 120km this week. I entered a half marathon this morning, to be held on Sunday in Canberra. Aim would be to set a new M60 age record for the Australian Masters Half Marathon Championships. I already hold the M45,M50 and M55 championship records. Current record is just under 79 minutes. I could run another time later in the year if things don't go well. It is a postal event and the choice of sanctioned races is limited. Another half marathon to be held in Canberra in May which I will also run is not on the sanctioned list.

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.
