A bit too long...up Randells (the fat white French bulldogs were out, in their matching little coats, although their fat rolls should have been more than adequate to keep them warm without coats), along Sheoak, down Pony Ridge, back along Brownhill Creek. The ford at Tilleys Hill Rd is closed although presumably locals who live up that road can still cross it and the stepping stones were well & truly under water - I waded across, shin-deep, which was the most fun part of the whole run. Died in the legs from about Mitcham onwards, partly because it was on pavement, and although I kept trying to dig deep as I do towards the end of a run with Blair or Zara, I had nothing left. Also rather tired because when Geoff got up at 3am, I did too - although I then went back to bed and he left for Dalhousie Springs to deliver some signs to the Simpson Desert national park. I may or may not see him again Tues/Wed.
