All Nations intervals, the full set this time. Felt very unconvincing and plodding but generally a couple of seconds faster than last week, so must be making some progress. Another small milestone in approaching a return to normal service (of sorts).

I've intermittently commented on the number of illegally unrestrained dogs here whilst I'm doing intervals, but today brought a twist on the theme, someone else doing intervals (of sorts) whilst in the company of an illegally unrestrained dog. Not in the company of any dogs (leashed or otherwise) was the substantial group of girls (probably mostly year 10-12 at a guess) on a group run; probably school cross-country season is approaching?

Warm-up and down, fairly interrupted by traffic (and getting around the waterworks in one street). Didn't feel terribly energetic but did manage to shake the sleepiness out of myself before the faster stuff started.

In another sign of return to normality, it was also the first time for a while I've done the full ride from home to work. Will have to find another route soon because La Trobe Street is about to be dug up for Metro Tunnel works. I also wondered whether the ATO auditors might care to have a word with the driver of the BMW with the number plate NOTAX.
