who is training in the heat?

On Saturday 8 February Acton Ferry Terminal, Andy and I had an easy run. We cut it back to 12k, and it is surprising how easy it felt not doing the 19k we have done in the last few weeks. This proves the value of the 19k! There were many lake users this morning, getting their exercise in while it was cooler.

On Sunday 9 February @ Stromlo Forest Park there was a total fire ban so I assumed that like last time the park would be closed to all members of the public. Surprise surprise, there was a big MTB event booked which went ahead as if nothing was any different. I understand that Andrew turned up and did his interval session there. I will ignore fire bans in future.

On Monday 10 February @ Parliament House – Bronwyn did the session in the morning. At the normal time I ran early in the heat, it was oppressively hot, then I supervised a session of 6 x 400m from the tennis court, attended by Andy, Christopher, Colin, Jen, Kym, Mick C, Ruth, Vanessa & Warrick. It had cooled down quite a bit by then. We did Ruth Challenge exercises between sprints.

In the last couple of days the Bungendore Doctor has arrived in the early evening. Let's hope that continues. Better still, a change in the weather would be good. It has never been this hot for this long.

Snow bunnies...


Never happens here...
