Added a new entry to my list of swimming pools visited, thanks to the location of tonight's run - North Melbourne. It's not at the top of my list of best pools, partly because of the lack of proper showers (just cool outdoor ones). The pool was a bit on the cool side too, but that side of things I can handle.

Very stiff this morning but worked a bit of it out in the swim. Also slept until my alarm this morning (with a couple of interruptions) which is progress. Time is a guess as there was no clock.

Best protest sign I've heard of for a while: at a demo against alleged election-rigging in Russia, '146% of Muscovites support fair elections'.

And news which might be a bit alarming to some - apparently Warney is now down to 78kg, which means a lot of blokes now have to confront the knowledge that he weighs less than they do. (I've still got a few kilos in reserve but it's a little too close for comfort).

Monday night from Ilka and Vanessa's with a small bunch. Quads felt like bricks in the opening minutes but eventually freed up into a run which was passable but never brilliant (and slow even by Monday night standards). Parts were hillier than I had thought possible in Royal Park with Vanessa showing us some of her favourite haunts. Very nice cool evening; there's a lot to be said for cool summer days in Melbourne (assuming you're not into being on the beach).
