Lake and Lawn

We had a "lake and lawn" day on Monday at Parliament House. The 4:30 group ran down to Lake Burley Griffin and ran a lap, totalling 7.5km. Then the main group at 5:30pm trained around Parliament House by running one loop which included a sprint up each of the eight grassy slopes. Altogether I ran 16km.

Such a beautiful sunny day on Tuesday that in the afternoon a group of us ran the wetlands loop, starting from Black Mountain Peninsula. Total estimated at 19km.

Then today I ran around the Ginninderra Handicap 7km course, the first time for eight months. I ran 28:33, which is reasonably OK. And again, it was such a perfect day. Did 18km in total.

Tomorrow I am looking forward to a 4:30pm leafy 7km run prior to Dickson oval training. The weather at this time of year is the best!

So at least I am keeping the distance up so far this week, right on target in fact.
