Run 2:05:00 [3] 25.1 km (4:59 / km)
Officially we're supposed to be on a break until 3 January but if I did such a thing an awful lot of stuff that needs to be ready to go on 3 January wouldn't be, so my break is over - but at least there are positives to working when no-one else is, such as half-empty trains and not needing to get up at 5 to get a Thursday long run in because there's no-one around to care that you got in after 10.
Today wasn't the grinding-the-gears start that many recent runs have been, but never got above a simmer. All the small hills felt like hard work but strangely the big one (across Montmorency) didn't. Took advantage of the last cool day for a while. Achilles continuing to improve with only occasional twinges, so I'm hoping the most recent flare-up was simply a case of not being able to handle sand well.
The side mission today was to get a more comprehensive look at flood damage than yesterday. There's lots of it in the Diamond Creek valley below Eltham (much less so in the Plenty River valley, which suggests that Eltham got a fair bit more rain than Greensborough's 92 in six hours and 61 in one) - perhaps most impressively, the stripping of all the decking from the footbridge next to the Main Road bridge (the one near the old McCrae residence for those who know the area).
