Planned morning run to the river that turned into a bit of an adventure: after the rain on Tuesday night (another 26mm taking us to a new September all time record and 470+ since the start of May), not only was the Sturt Hwy underpass flooded but the track beside Marshall's Creek just before the underpass was also cut, so had to detour up the levee bank. Once across the Sturt, came to a sign advising that the Levee and lower tracks are closed (until December!) so the Water works can construct a new pipeline! So couldn't get to the river, turned back and decided to add a loop around the eastern and southern sides of cemetery to make up some of the distance and proceeded to get swooped twice by 2 different magpies so will be leaving that section alone for a month or so!

Morning run out around the Lake and return. Garmin battery died at 6.5km so distance and time both guestimates. Walked for about 300m mid way talking with a mate I hadn't seen for a while.

Had planned a longer run this morning, south and around the Lake and into Rawlings. Misty rain leaving home but the further south I went, the heavier the rain got! Given I still haven't shaken off my cold, called it quits at the Lake Rd roundabout and headed back home via the cemetery and powerline track. Have lots of time now for mid-week long runs:-)
