Didn't wake up as stiff as I did on the last couple of post-long run days but didn't have much energy in the pool either - one of those days where I feel as if I'm flailing around (even more than usual, some would say), and that was reflected in the time.

The various local governments haven't been talking with each other very much, because four adjoining councils (Melbourne, Yarra, Moreland, Boorondara) have all closed one of their pools for long-term reconstruction at the same time. It doesn't really make a difference at the times of day that I'm around but apparently Fitzroy is getting pretty crowded in the afternoons.

A fairly nondescript run, more or less par for a Monday although done at lunchtime rather than in the evening. Left shin a bit sore for the first 15 minutes or so; suspect it's another manifestation of tight calves (which will hopefully be sorted out after tomorrow).

This was a big day for school excursions and office Christmas parties; I'm assuming the pile of 30-odd empty champagne bottles around the bottom of a bin next to the Yarra was from the latter rather than the former.
