Run intervals 20:00 [4] 3.2 km (6:15 / km)

10 reps at lunchtime (61-67). Was originally planning a fartlek session in the morning but realised on getting up that my loop wasn't really runnable in the dark and it wasn't going to get light until too late, so switched to the Yarra's Edge intervals session instead. Started out as some pretend speedwork of the sort I've been fairly familiar with of late, but got better as it went on and was starting to look like real speedwork in the second half. Went a bit lactic in the last 20-30 metres of the last couple of upwind reps.

Noticed that one of the properties I was running in front of was advertised as having 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a 4-car garage. Presumably the target demographic is families with three uni-student-aged daughters.

One wonders if Alan Jones might be regretting launching Roger Rogerson's book a few years ago, and in particular saying at said function that the streets of NSW would be safer if there were police like Rogerson these days. At least the whole sorry affair is introducing a new generation to the expression "colourful Sydney business identity" (I expect to see "colourful racing identity" before too long). The sense of schadenfreude would be more complete if the aforesaid Mr. Rogerson had got the "you're nicked, sunshine" whilst speaking at a local Liberal fundraiser (an activity which he's reportedly not entirely unfamiliar with).

Run warm up/down 20:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)

Warming up and down. Pretty sluggish heading out (and foot soreness - in a new place - initially, but it only lasted 50 metres), better coming back.

Ivanhoe, which I wouldn't have thought was fertile territory for such things, has acquired one of the billboards you sometimes see with a biblical quotation and a PO Box in Burleigh Heads. At least the billboards which depict foetuses don't appear to have made it south of Stanthorpe yet.

Didn't have much energy riding home tonight. Hopefully this was merely a product of it being 8.15 and not having eaten yet, otherwise it doesn't augur so well for my plans tomorrow.
