A bit of progress compared with the last couple of weeks - still not exactly sparkling but did feel as if it was going along OK in the second half, and two-contour hills weren't as scary as they have been (baby steps). Longest run since returning from injury (baby steps there too). Slow at the start but early back stiffness quickly disappeared. Also made some significant inroads into the remaining western parts of the circle - just one more small bit of the northwest to go (there are also a few areas on the Bellfield side and one south of the Yarra).
Online wanderings today took me to the 1990 England World Cup song, which unusually engaged the services of a proper band (New Order), although it's probably still best remembered for John Barnes' rap (which has its own
Wikipedia page). Originally the song was supposed to contain the lines "E is for England, England starts with E/We'll all be smiling when we get to Italy", but some spoilsport at the FA belatedly realised that in 1990 references to smiling and the letter E, shall we say, had other connotations, and that bit was ditched.
