all terrain run 17km ; Whale Spotting

Image
Yesterday morning a road trip to meet up with my training partner for a 17km run on all types of terrain along the coast including golf course, single track and lots of hills. Weather full sun, warm... After the run a play date for Munchkin and Milli the Border Collies and to finish off some must do chores, seeing to the fitting of a set of new tyres for my vehicle to help keep me safe on the roads. New Day:Heavy thunderstorms yesterday evening and overnight into this morning, storms still active out to sea. After a warm up run from home a drive to Glasshouse Rocks Beaches for a set of 2 x 2km Intervals at low tide racing Munchkin the Border Collie. Back at home a long warm down included spotting a whale or two active on the horizon. In the afternoon a second run.

5km run from home before heading to Glasshouse Rocks with Munchkin the Border Collie for a set of 2 x 3km Intervals at dead low tide Racing Munchkin the Border Collie at Maximum Threshold.Weather mostly sunny, warm, light winds. In the afternoon I did a second threshold run on my Hill Loop and spied a couple of humpback whales off Shore.I had given up on the whales this week but the odd stragler is still coming past. It has been a great whale spotting season. Soon enough the Whales will start moving north again.
