This month was a big improvement on the past 4 months all affected by an ongoing hip injury.
That now has gone, but the month's running was disrupted by a fall while out running a couple of weeks ago.

I have lost most of my endurance base which now has to be rebuilt. The next few months until the end of the year will be spent doing this with a target race in mid March next year of a 100 km run on the Canberra Centenary Trail. It's on the north side of the city so not as hilly as if it was on south side.

Today's short run was very slow partly due to strong winds, plus I took a different course due to the seasonal magpie attacks. A hazard to be avoided until mid November as the parents look to protect their eggs in the current breeding season.
