Starting again. Hopefully the training session yesterday marks the first day of this slow-coach's return to running. I completed most of the session, albeit at a slow jog, including the warm-up and cool-down, something I haven't achieved for some time. But there will be no speed for a while yet.

We recorded in our back yard 102mm of rain in August and 105mm in September. These figures represent double the monthly averages. With more rain forecast, it looks like being a good year. If this year brings one more period of wide-spread rainfall to Canberra, we can say the drought is officially over.
When the speedygeese start up Sunday morning Stromlo Forest Park training sessions, I expect there will plenty of grass to run on. Barefoot will be an option. No shade overhead, but nice soft green grass underfoot. The plan is to begin these from 17 October, Sundays with the only exceptions the Vets Handicap days.
It was a lovely afternoon. Glad you're back slow jogging again Geoff. Looking forward to the odd Stromlo session.
ReplyDeleteJennifer and Katherine are preparing for the half (also CJ and Ruth). I'm preparing to improve enough so I can keep up with Jennifer and Katherine on the early warm-up run.
Very glad you are running again SpeedyGeoff. I look forward to joining you soon for a slow shuffle -- which is my present version of a run!! (Miranda)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe Bronia & Kylie are running the marathon, as well as Warrick. I don't know who else but there are bound to be more and if I hear I will publish.
