I had planned to run further today, but with no CJ to get me going early I slept in, then rang my brother in Cairns for his birthday and soon it was late morning so a long run was off the program. Instead, I ran from home down past the Calwell shops, the oval, and behind the Theodore houses to the sub station. I decided to keep the hills out of the run so just did a full circuit of Tuggeranong Hill, still undulating and just under 8 km.
Met a runner doing hill repeats on the Conder side, and he joined with me as we headed back past the sub station around the back of the houses. Discovered he is training for his first Brindabella Classic, he is basically doing all the right things, just needs to get in some long down hill running in to his training or he will pay the price on run day.
I am just about to head off to mark the course at Blewitt's forest ( there are no trees) for tomorrows vet's handicap run. I really should have a bulldozer to take the top off some of the hills, there are few flat spots on the whole run. Should be good if not a bit short at 7km.
