Run 52:00 [3] 9.0 km (5:47 / km)
The good news from this run is that I didn't feel any significant impact from injuries. The bad news is that I felt terrible for most of it - one of those days where you feel as if you're running up a big hill the whole way even though it's mostly flat (the few actual hills were even more challenging). Hopefully that's just a passing phase. Started with vague thoughts of trying to stretch it out to 90 if it went well (and sufficient time to do so), but that didn't happen.
Might not be doing this route again for a while: there was a sign saying that the Darebin Creek footbridge between Thornbury and Bellfield is being replaced from February and will be closed for four months. (By way of comparison, a few years back, the Burgundy Street rail bridge was replaced in a single weekend - a seriously impressive bit of engineering and construction).
Think I've done all my necessary shopping now (it helps that others are handling the food side), without venturing into a single shopping mall (or, perhaps worse, its car park) in the last couple of weeks.
There are often sightings at this time of year of the political-correctness-gone-mad crowd jumping at shadows - a highlight this year has been Senator Eric Abetz demanding to see all end-of-year messages sent within government departments, presumably to check that they've made sufficient reference to Christmas with none of this happy-holidays stuff. Today's feature was a news story about "controversial calls" to call "Father Christmas" "Person Christmas". In such stories it's usually worthwhile to try to trace where the "controversial calls" are coming from, and in this case it appears to have been one person (who may well have been taking the piss) tweeting.
