Run 1:05:00 [3] 11.2 km (5:48 / km)
Continuing the positive curve - this was the best I've felt on a run for several weeks (perhaps since the Canadian Middle). Started out down the Darebin path then along the river, a slightly indirect option because the riverside path past the Chandler is blocked (from tomorrow the whole passage under the bridge will be, supposedly for three weeks but, given the lack of urgency which builders often apply to works which inconvenience pedestrians and cyclists, probably longer). Went across the pipe bridge - very slippery with dew this morning - and into Westgarth, with some bonus distance because I got wrong which street it was which leads to the pedestrian crossing of the railway between Westgarth and Dennis stations (it was a morning I wasn't too upset about bonus distance, though). Feeling towards the end as if I would have happily kept going for longer had I had the time to do so, though perhaps was a bit too much in the zone because I almost collided with pedestrians twice in the space of a minute near the Fairfield shops.
Rolled my ankle quite heavily coming down towards the pipe bridge. I was worried I might have done some damage but it seems more or less OK, just a bit of soreness in the foot (I'll find out properly tomorrow). My ankles can tolerate a lot; I've only done them properly twice in the last 30 years (most recently in 2004), both in rather freakish circumstances. I think I must have hogged all the good-ankle genes on offer in our family given the problems that Cassie has had with hers...
Perfect morning for running, too. At this time of year you're always conscious that it's almost time to leave good training conditions behind for a few months, with numbers starting with a 3 beginning to appear in the forecast. (Mind you, I can think of one currently-outback-based Queensland orienteer who probably wouldn't mind seeing a number starting with a 3 appearing in the forecast, today being the ninth successive day over 40). I will get a few cooler interludes, with trips to the northern hemisphere in each of November, December and January.
