In the early afternoon I had planned to run around the new parkrun course at Kippax but it was pouring rain, wet and miserable, so I gave it a miss. As often happens though, by the time Monday Parliament House training time arrived, the rain had stopped and the ground was not even boggy or soggy. We had an excellent time at Parliament House and despite the rain during the day and the public holiday, 21 people and two dogs turned up. New were Sarah, Robin, and canine Izzy, and also there were Jen, Isaac, Dave, Mick, James, Allie with Peach, Yelena with Vianne, Rae, Ruth, Giles, George, Lisa, Bron, Bill, Deborah, and me, with Joel and Maya turning up at the end (for the champagne). We wished the Queen happy birthday, and we wished Indigo happy birthday in absentia whose friends apparently had plied her with too much birthday spirit for her to arrive. Better luck Thursday!
Training consisted of 2 x 800m flat out with an 800m jog between, then the faster runners among us (i.e. faster than me) also ran 4 x acceleration runs of ~100m with 100m jog between each.
Some of us tonight:
