Training Log Archive: Craney

Ran from Theodore, over Callaghan Hill, which was quite steep on a fire trail and technically in private land. Then up Mt Rob Roy, which was also a mainly steep fire trail. Then down into Banks and up Tuggeranong Hill, which was a bit crappy and back to the car. Nice to explore a new route, but wasn't overly enthused by it. Rob Roy from behind is better. Good solid hill training though - pretty tired by the end. Also my nips burst and made a couple of nice red splodges on my nice white cockies t-shirt.

Gracie's birthday, so we did a nice long run from London Bridge and explored some of the Googong Foreshores Reserve. Nice bushland - had to paddle through the Queanbeyan River a couple of times, which was pretty nippy. Undulating fire trails mainly - was getting quite tired on the ups by the end.

Morning run in Melbourne from the Sofitel, past the MCG and round the back of the Botanic Gardens. Not very nice - dark and drizzly.

Morning run on Redders.

Headtorchy run on Isaac Ridge, but also ventured into the bit of bush between there and Mugga. Was quite nice - more exploring needed, possibly on a long run from home sometime. Nice clear starry night, loads of roos out and about plus a few foxes and a rat. Felt a bit tired after a few solid days so took it quite gentle.

7x3mins at lunchtime, mainly on fire trails in Red Hill. Felt pretty heavy and slow but dug in anyway. Lovely day, nice temperature.

10mins before, 10mins after, 6mins in-betweens.

Evening road run round several 'burbs - Griffith, Narrabundah, Red Hill, Forrest, Deakin, Yarralumla, Parkes, Barton and Kingston. Felt ok. It got a lot colder as the run went on. Ran by the murder scene on Mugga Way - one of 4 emergency scenes Grace and I drove past yesterday.
