Last training sessions of 2013
Thursday 26 December speedygeese @ Parliament House: 20 x 100 hills on 90 or 80, SW hill – Andy, Bronwyn, Garry, me, Heather, Jen, Michelle. Not a bad turn-out for the holiday season!

Saturday 27 December speedyducks @ Acton Ferry Terminal: Caleb (1k), Andy (11k), me (16k). There were hundreds of other lake users and ducks everywhere. I haven't ventured up Mt Ainslie on these runs for a while, must do so soon. On this occasion we ran through the welcome shade of the ANU, and also into Turner, instead of going around the lake.

Sunday 29 December speedygeese @ Stromlo Forest Park: Dave and I ran on the grass, I did 3x1k in 4:58, 4:30, 4:14. I wish I could do all three fast! Dave ran 4 x 1k in 4:00, 4:05. 4:05. 4:05 the did 5 x 400m. Maria preparing for Bendigo, Katie, and Tori were there too, running long.

Monday 30 December speedygeese @ Parliament House: I ran early, then  Adam (new), Andy, Bronwyn, Caroline, and Garry, did a speed-endurance training session for 34 minutes of up to 200, 400, 600,400, 200, 400, 600, 400, 200 with jog back recovery. The 29 degree heat and strong wind didn't bother us, it is shady and sheltered along the western side.

Lots of good movies around, but I watched Spaceballs last night, will watch the new Jonathon Creek tonight, and defer the Tintin movie to another night. Thompson and Thomson are my favourites!
