Stromlo Forest Park training.
Yesterday a Sunday morning speedygeese training session was held at Stromlo Forest Park for the first time. It won't take long until word gets around and the number of participants increases. Michelle had a solid session on the 1km grass circuit, running 2 x {100 fast/100 slow, 200 fast/100 slow, 300 fast/100 slow, 400 fast/100 slow, 500 fast/100 slow} plus warm up and cool down. I was able to do a light jog with my improving hamstring, while Colleen arrived later for her first visit to Stromlo and jogged around with a sore achilles but expressed her liking for the venue, vowing to return.
Despite all the rain the grass track was in good shape, not even one damp spot, few bare patches, We will be there again this Sunday morning at 8:00am, and most Sundays, but not on the 31st as there is a Vets Handicap being held on that day.
Save the Murray
This is one cause I could get passionate about, if nothing substantial is done soon to improve things in the long term.
