Run 32:00 [3] 5.6 km (5:43 / km)
First run back, and a reasonably positive return - as always after a significant layoff, the actual running side was hard work until things started to click again at about 20-25 minutes, but any mild discomfort in the injury site disappeared in the first couple of minutes. Will be interesting to see how it handles something steep and longer tomorrow. Got this done just before the first serious rain for a couple of months unloaded.
This was my first bit of suburban exploration for a couple of weeks so it was my first chance to see the Grange Road Big Dig in progress (as with other level crossing removal sites, this appears to be a significant toddler tourist attraction). The streets of Fairfield are also still liberally dotted with Labor signs, Greens signs and Stop Adani signs. I did see a picture during the week of a place with three signs: a Labor sign, a Stop Adani sign and a handwritten sign "Against The Mine, Still Voting For Ged" (which probably sums up the views of most of the local Labor contingent, too - noting that, as a means to the end of the Adani mine not happening, when compared with the other ways in which it might be stopped, allowing it to expire of its own accord for lack of anyone willing to lend it money has the advantage that it doesn't carry the risk of exposing taxpayers to mega-compensation payouts).
Also spotted was a van with the name of a business "Parthenon Marble", which I suspect might have drawn a certain amount of inspiration from a 200-year-old diplomatic dispute (the "Parthenon Marbles" are what the Greeks call the objects that they want to get back from the British Museum - although why they're called "marbles" is a bit of a mystery to me).
