Did a run first thing in Gundagai before moving on to Canberra for the cricket. Almost a false start - my right foot was quite painful early and I was about to pack it in, stopped for a bit, restarted and it was fine again within a minute or two. (It's pulled up sore afterwards, though, so will need to watch it). Once that was out of the way, a struggle for the first 10 minutes, but after that picked up to be better than I've felt in other runs this week (an admittedly low bar to clear). Headed across the river flats and the (low) bridge to South Gundagai and back, a route I don't think I've followed since the Hume went that way up until the late 1970s. (The semi-ruined state of the Prince Alfred Bridge, a rather narrow timber structure the best part of a kilometre long, makes it hard to believe that the Hume crossed it recently enough to be within my memory).

Spent the rest of the day at the cricket (predictably bumping into a school acquaintance I hadn't seen for 30 years within the first five minutes of the lunch interval) - a fairly slow day for the most part but still a good occasion.
