Event: Super Long World Champs III
 

Great training session thanks Andy! Us girls took it more as a long run, than a race making it quite social. One of my longest training runs - 23kms. Cut of some sections that the boys and jennycas did. Actually out there for 4 hours, 1:20 was stops between "courses". From Roseville, down Blue Gum Creek, into Chatswood West golf course beside river below our house to Aths track, Blackman Park, Burns Bay, Pottery Green, Naremburn, St Leonards, Wollstonecraft and ending up at Balls Head. Tops!

Scored a lift into the city and ran from cnr Hunter St & Phillip St through Hyde Park to work.

Jogged from work through Cockle Bay to Aquarium then up King St to Clarence. Slotted straight onto a bus, when my neighbour on the bus told me he had to wait 30 min. Sweet! (For me anyway).

Was going to have a rest day, but joined Malin in her track intervals... Tiia was taken off our hands to a Wizzy World Playdate, and Malin and I pushed the boys in a double pram down to track. We sat the boys in the longjump pit with their sand toys (not that they stayed there long), and did 8 x 400m. We ran the first together, but since Kari cried the whole lap, we did the rest as a relay. They were happy then. Was frustated not to break 1.30 (ran 1.31 and 1.32s) but busted a gut on the final one to run 1.24. Pushing that pram uphill home afterwards was quite an effort. Good stretching for my calves though.

Event: Sydney Sprint Series #3
 

Sprint Race at Macq Uni. Really went hard in this race to make up for last week's poor 8th woman placing! Easy to run confidently when you know the map well from coursesetting and remapping for WMOC. Came a cropper when a passage way you could get through at Masters near the Business Management School was cut off my glass walls and I needed to backtrack, losing 30 seconds. Very impressed by Elise's time...and felt much better when I learnt she was 5th in the Sprint at WOC last year! 2nd female to her.

Warm up jogging above swimming pool. Partly to avoid kids seeing me knick off to start and also coz I need to more!

Macquarie Uni - Splits

Beautiful run with Malin and Cath from Berowra Station east down to Cowan creek, then south and up to Mt Kuringai. Beautiful run I sometimes do with Paul when visiting his sister in Mt Colah. Only a shame we could barely hear each other through the noise of cicadas.
