Did some slightly heavier weights today.

Foggy and damp. Did not push too hard as I was happy to be running with my jumper on the whole way. Surprisingly nice out for such a bleak morning.

Event: Jim Sawkins Memorial
 

Head-head Vs Eoin at Jerrabomberra. It was not supposed to be head-head because although we started at the same time, we immediately went up hill and I had to walk, and needed a toilet stop after number 1. So I set off slowly, even further up the hill to 2 quite happily doing my own thing. Only to see him just leaving 2 as I got there. We were on different loops, so again I took my time and did not expect to see him again, it being reasonably open and fast with lots of track choices. But heading to 11, there he was again. A few better lines got me even at 12 and then better choice ahead at 13. I stayed in from until part way to 16 (a long uphill track run) where he went past again but we had different approaches to the control so I punched it first. Finally, going to 17, my route was very dud and I saw him running by on the track as I was stuck in a green gully. So thought that was that. Then, spotted him way ahead again going to 20 and was shock to see him get 21 just ahead of me. I got to 22 just after and got in front for 23 but no way was I ever going to win a long run into the finish. Happy with the result as we were under pressure from Aoife to finish and get home again ASAP...

C • very good run.. 3

Hard 3:Hard 3 A - Splits

Pretty frosty today! Beautiful clear morning, started in a jumper but was able to take it off half way around. Frost and ice many parts where I do t usually see it. Still lots of frost on our roof and in the garden when I got home too- again this is unusual.

C • Temperature 2

A cold and foggy morning decided my fate and I abandoned plans to run and paid up another 3 months of gym membership. I also found my swimming card and got the sad news that it has 16 swims left, so might need to make an effort to get wet now and then too.

A lot of walking up hill. And downs were a bit precarious so did not make up much time there. Just one larger mistake on 2, didn’t climb enough. And 12, too eager to stop climbing and ran down the wrong track a bit.
Another extraordinary day and so made a real effort to ditch the desk for a bit.
