Rain Event Over ; Half Marathon Preparation ; Glasshouse Tempo Run 10km ; Coila Lake Open to Sea

Rain stopped last evening, full sun today. The morning run today at Glasshouse Rocks Beaches on low tide and fast sand with Munchkin the Border Collie and a 10km Tempo Run. Main sessions this week in preparation for a half Marathon on Sunday including my regular 2 x One Mile Hill Efforts this afternoon and a long run in a couple of days. The Course is full of lumpy hills by the lake which is often very windy. A bit of a shock during a warm down run to find Coila Lake Open to the sea due to natural causes (lots of rain). It hasn't been open for a couple of years and well needed a flushout although it looks like the sewerage system didn't cope juding by the exessive foam.

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.
