I ran a fairly solid 83k last week, and running is feeling easier. I may run as much again this week, or not, but I am enjoying the feeling of actually getting faster for short runs, and surprisingly for long runs as well.
Monday training
Turning out on a warm Monday afternoon were Peter, Ewen & I running early, then running for 30 minutes around our Rose Garden loop incorporating timed 200s for those wanting speed work were Abi, Cookie, Andrew S, Andy, Bronwyn, Cathy N (back after a long break), Clint, Craig, Ewen, Garry. me, Jen, Kym, Mick, Peter, Rae, Ruth, Sarah P, Sarah-Jayne, Susan & Warrick. At a guess, most were pretty well exhausted after what turned out to be a solid session.

Abi’s Alibi
She's expecting! Which is why she hasn't been flogging us at training recently.
Coming up
This Sunday we won't be at Stromlo Forest Park. For a start the national MTB championships are on and the whole area will be booked out. Secondly the Vets handicap is on and several of us will be there. Thirdly I will be at Acton Ferry Terminal watching Cookie compete in her big race. so I am advertising "Speedygeese training" at Acton Ferry Terminal at 7:30am this Sunday instead of at Stromlo. But I expect we will just jog around and enjoy the morning.
So. On with the training. We will get there.
