Swim at Fitzroy. Felt pretty good despite a little hip soreness at times, and second half a bit faster than in recent weeks. The person with the three bottles of product was there again this morning.

The ride in didn't go quite so well - my front tyre has been gradually deflating for months (the valve is broken) and my commuting times have been drifting backwards commensurately. This morning I finally decided it has reached the point of being unrideable, bailed out and got the tram instead.

MFR Monday night from Vanessa and Ilka's, acting as the token bloke. In years gone by, venturing into these parts on this particular day could have been a perilous exercise, but (a) Brendan Fevola no longer plays for Carlton and (b) Naughton's Hotel is no longer trading. Instead the only perils were presented by a squally northerly wind (which became a squally westerly after we finished); this may well be the warmest run I do before December given that I'll be missing for most of November.

Didn't feel particularly brilliant, although better in the second half.
