Something seems to have clicked in the last couple of days because this was another good one, particularly considering I was coming off something reasonably long yesterday - settled well after the first few minutes. It's a nice change for running to be a pleasure rather than a battle, as it's been for so much of this year. Once again going consistently under 5.30s once warmed up (except for uphills).

It was the first time for a few weeks I've used the Chandler crossing of the river - I tend to avoid it during the week and haven't been around much on weekends lately - so I was able to see that they've finally begun to dismantle the front of the old paper mill. Perhaps wisely, given that construction - as opposed to deconstruction - doesn't appear to have started yet and there is one working week left in the first half of the year, the fence no longer promises that apartments will be available in 'early 2017'.

(While on the subject of real estate marketing which is a somewhat ambitious interpretation of the truth, I also saw a sign describing a property as "Yarra's edge". The house in question is 600 metres from the river - and that via an access which I suspect will be a casualty of the new Chandler Highway bridge - and on the other side of Heidelberg Road).

Hip was a little sore before and after the run, but fine during it.
