Run 1:00:00 [3] 11.1 km (5:24 / km)
Fairly early start after dropping Jenny off at the airport, then coming in towards work and doing a run from North Melbourne - out along the west bank of the Maribyrnong past the Merv Hughes Oval, then back through Ascot Vale. A fairly nondescript run, though hamstring better than yesterday with only a very slight twinge.
Slept pretty badly which probably didn't help (not for the first time, I remedied some of the deficit, not entirely intentionally, during a 2pm meeting). I might have slept worse if I'd known what the Australian was going to do with the quotes I'd given them (the quotes were reasonably accurate, but they framed them in a 'this proves the Greens are wrong' context) - though it might mean that the sceptics are under the illusion that I'm on their side.
Was also putting together some material today for my monthly talk on global climate. The flipside of the unusual cold in eastern North America (apart from a dry and warm west) has been exceptional warmth in parts of the Arctic - Svalbard is running 13 degrees above normal for the year so far - and the flipside of the storm track parking itself over the southern UK for the winter has been extraordinarily dry conditions in central and northern Norway (I'm guessing it's not widely known in these parts that more properties have been lost in bushfires so far this year in Norway than in Australia). Most areas from Trondheim northwards got no, or almost no, rain or snow for all of January.
A couple of positive bits of news (no, they don't involve drug tests) for orienteering in Australia in the last couple of days, though I can't say much publicly (yet).
