Last night's training at Parliament House, Canberra saw one fresh face in the training group - Lisa joining us after a couple of years out of action. We ran on three levels - something we were able to do again, also after a couple of years, because the "One Way" signs have been moved to safer spots.
Climate Change
Present at training were Alan, Amanda, Cathy, Emma, Ewen, me, Helen, Joel, Kelley, Lisa, Margaret, Maria, Peter, Rachelle, Richard, Ruth, Sonia and Yelena. It was very hot - the temperature has been sitting on 10 to 12 above average the last week. Will it be a hot summer? You bet.
On the Level
Lower level - bitumen path - 4 x 40 seconds on 2 minutes, alternating directions.
--2 minute break--
Middle level - gravel path - 4 x 40 seconds on 2 minutes, alternating directions.
--2 minute break--
Higher level - dirt (was grass)path - 4 x 40 seconds on 2 minutes, alternating directions.
Thankfully all three tracks were well shaded, and there was plenty of water on hand.
Once Bitten Twice Shy
The stretching session at the end in the shade will have resulted in all participants resolving to bring aeroguard next week.
Coming Event - Spring Series 5k at the National Library, 6pm today.
Coming Event - Vets track this Thursday, 800m and 10000m. Hurray, the Thursday forecast is "relatively cool" compared with the rest of this week.
Coming Event - Bonshaw Cup 6.4k, this Friday at HMAS Harman. Registration closes at: 1030; Race start: 1100 walkers, 1130 runners. Entry Fee: $10.00 per person (includes trophies, prizes and lunch)
Coming Event - Vets handicap and end-of-year prize giving, this Sunday morning, Innabaanya. There will be a sausage sizzle after the handicaps. Payment is by gold coin donation which goes to the ACT Cancer Council.
Put on your running gear, come outside and join us!
