Saturday, Sunday and Today ~~~~~

Saturday : 95th parkrun.. parkrun horribilis!  So many walk breaks! 41:45mins. 80.36% Age Grade.

Sunday : Long run/walk, 30/30seconds ..felt much better after this one!  12km

Today (Tuesday) :  for the first time that I can recall I had to abandon a track session at Chev. College.  Never before have I felt such a fierce, freezing cold gale sweeping in every direction across the oval!  I did 2 of 6x600m before making a bee line for protection in the car!

Not the best start to another week with just 2 more before Blackmore's 10km Bridge Run!
