Friday was a short run home one way at lunch time, nothing special.
Saturday, drink station on saddle between Mt Majura & Mt Ainslie during Canberra Centenary 100 km run. We were there for around 8 hours with some down time, managed to get some hill repeats & short jogging done. Plenty of breaks between but much of up hill was down to Phillip Ave and back up to the saddle. As well, a few short runs up to the top of the ridge checking for oncoming runners.
Today, a nice run over a course I call the Theodore 3 peaks being Theodore hill, behind Ewen's place, then up Mt Tuggeranong, that's tough to run the whole way. A finally the easy one behind the reservoirs up to the ridge between Calwell & Conder.
Light drizzle started after an hour but lucky there was no wind and it wasn't cold.
A slow run but with 466 metres of climbing, and no walking, I can take heart from today's effort.
While I wait a couple of weeks for Softshoe to recover, I'll stick to the local hills then it will be time to hit Mt Tennent to be as ready as possible for the almighty effort for Bogong to Hotham in early January.
