Last night's track saw all the speedygeese do well. Amongst the best was Bronwyn with three pb's - a 22 second 3000m pb closely followed by a 1500m which was a one second pb, then the spiral 8 lapper where she improved about 30 seconds. Full results soon!

Please recover
But recovery isn't sitting around twiddling your thumbs, still get out and RUN! Just not at race pace, that's all.
The next GM 3000m races are on Jan 3 and Jan 10. That's right, even the combined meetings will feature them. Don't forget to come early, they start at 5:45pm ACT Athletics time, and you will have to check in early, and organise race numbers like this year, I imagine. Guess what, they are combined with the walk! What fun. What chaos that is going to be.
