Cranked out a nice hill training session with the group last night after yet another hiatus with back and hamstring troubles. Five times up a long hill of about 500 metres with a sharp increase in gradient over the last 100 metres.
The cross country season is coming up soon and we're all looking forward to running over hill and dale, jumping fences and leaping muddy creeks on cold Saturday afternoons followed by a steaming hot bath (not all together)!
Missed the track & field finals due to the injury.
Kept fit just by walking the dogs. Oh yes - the dogs. Goldie's been a naughty girl, barking at the cat next door and jumping into the pot plants along the fence. Billy's been OK. Bit lazy, though. You'd think a greyhound would want more exercise than a Brittany. Not Billy.
We took them to Merri Creek - where there are wide open fields near Fawkner - and let Goldie go, she was off out of sight immediately, flushing rabbits out and chasing them crazily all over the place. Billy had a good look too.
It was a hot day and the dogs enjoyed getting down into the creek and lying in the rapids after their exertions. The water is quite clean that far north.
