Old Geese

Goals for March and April.
I have decided to test myself out in a handful of races leading up to the Ultra on 15 April. Any other races I go in will be tempo runs or training runs. The races are

  • 06 March YCRC Summer Series Acton 5k
  • 18 March Weston Creek Half Marathon
  • 29 March ACTVAC 5k track championships

Hopefully I can get a recent PB in at least one of these. And in April of course the goal is to run and survive the 50k.

Training at Parliament House last night. Ewen & I ran 8k early, it didn't rain, then we were joined at 5:30pm by Cookie, Andy, Bronwyn, Christopher, Craig, Helen, Tim, Warrick & Yelena, it still didn't rain. It was a perfect evening for running despite the high humidity. We ran our last anaerobic session for a while, a set of 12 x 200 with 100 float.
