Two weeks later at Dunrossil Drive is the Sprint-Marathon relay, I have entered this year, it is a fabulous event organised by Jim White, open to all. I suggest we all go and run it as our weekend hard run. Contact Jim to get your name included in the start list, he decides on team composition.

Meanwhile today was the last Saturday Pialligo training, instead of doing this in February and March I suggest we make our other hard run the Tuesday evening Summer Series races organised by the ACT Cross Country Club. Today Tony, Craig, Heidi, Troy & I did eight short intervals on the grass, our session with the warm-up and cool-down run totalled about 11.5k. Thanks Tony for hosting these sessions and allowing us to use your orchard and its welcome shade.


But first, contact Rachelle to be entered in the 800m this Saturday.
