Run intervals 20:00 [4] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
10x1 minute in Mon Repos park, half slightly uphill, half slightly downhill. Had a pretty rough night with the beginnings of a cold (which so far don't seem to have become any more than beginnings) and didn't get much sleep after 4, but this was a pretty reasonable run, feeling as if I had a bit of pace (although the times - or to be more precise the distances covered a minute - were still nothing to get excited about).
A slight change in conditions would be nice - the temperature hasn't budged out of a range between -0.1 and -1.8 since I've been here. Perhaps Australia has sucked in all the world's supply of interesting weather. That said, it's quite nice to run in.

Run warm up/down 21:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:15 / km)
Warming up/down for the speed session. Achilles a bit tight when I started but loosened up pretty quickly.
Met quite a few people today, including the director of the Egyptian meteorological service, who appeared to be genuinely interested in the weather (by no means a prerequisite for a director of a national meteorological service in Africa), something I take as a hint that he probably isn't a political appointment and therefore probably won't be seeking alternative employment (or asylum) this time next week. His Tunisian counterpart has apparently already been advised that his services are no longer required.
