Run intervals 20:00 [4] 2.7 km (7:24 / km)
Had planned to go to the CDU rugby field again, but that was being used by soccer players so went next door to the Australian Rules ground. I was initially a bit puzzled by the fact that the boundary was a metre inside the goalposts, and then remembered that in this part of the world it's cricket season. (In one sense this is a pity; I would have like to have seen some local football, particularly if the Tiwi Islands team were playing).
A fairly standard 10x1 minute session around the boundary. Never had a lot of motivation; this was really just about keeping the legs ticking over, but did speed up a bit towards the end.
I've got as far as a quote for a new car ($34K driveaway for a new Forester, which seems a pretty good deal). Still waiting for confirmation from the insurers (although I've got to the stage where I'm thinking that if they consider it repairable I might trade it in anyway).

Run warm up/down 21:00 [2] 4.1 km (5:07 / km)
Warm up/down. Still pretty sticky. There seemed to be a lot of big dogs on the streets I was going along; just as well for the high front fences (although I guess in Canberra they would be in back yards).
We'll find out tonight whether the Territory Day crackers have dragged out until Bastille Day. My suggestion is that anyone found letting off fireworks today should be required to sing the Marseillaise (the French version, not the one that starts "We are the boys from old Fitzroy") or face a fine.
Also noticed today that there is exactly one US state in which less than 20% of the population are classified as obese. Anyone care to guess which one?
