Thursday night track performances.
Craig Davis ran his first ever track 3000m. Bronwyn Calver ran her first track races in the W40 age group.
Injury free at last
I was pleased with what was essentially a tempo run in the 3000m, just over 4 minutes for each km running easy. And I declare myself injury free at last! It was good to see many of the speedygeese competing on what was a surprisingly good night considering the time of year. Well done John Lamb for arranging such pleasant weather.
In the 3000m, excellent performances by Caroline Campbell in the W60 age group, and Maria O’Reilly in the W50s.

No speedygeese ran in the 400m. Some common sense is prevailing!
Training at Stromlo Forest Park
I turned up this morning in the very light rain and so did Janene and Heidi. See "Happy Speedygeese not at Vets track" below. It was their first visit to Stromlo and were rather impressed by the fact that an Australian cycling championship was in progress there while we were training. We ran our 3 x 1k on the grass circuit, Janene using the session as tempo training before her Melbourne marathon just one week away, running about 4:30s, I averaged 4:02, and Heidi 4:08. We will continue meeting there 9am every Saturday morning and hope a few more start coming along.
Maps of training venues, including the Stromlo one, appear in the "venues" link in the sub-heading at the top of this page.
So, good luck Janene in the Melbourne marathon, you will tweet us at 25k, won't you? And say hello to Ewen who is running the half.

Three generations actually. Jodie and Kathy in the foreground both competed on the track, and that's Alex running away in the background
