Run 1:19:00 [3] 13.4 km (5:54 / km)
Started early in the hope of missing the heat, with the intention of heading northeast. Inside the first 10 minutes it was clear that my back didn't want to play ball on hills today so I instead switched plans for something flatter, turning north and northwest rather than northeast from Ivanhoe. It was still a struggle most of the way and there were numerous times that I thought I might be calling it a day early (and the back's reaction on the few brief upward bumps made it pretty clear that missing the climb out of Rosanna was a good move), but at least I got this on the board, and the pace was actually half-reasonable later on, perhaps because of a bit of a tailwind. Longest this year, which doesn't feel the greatest of benchmarks this far into the year; a somewhat more obscure benchmark is that it's the first time since 2020 that I've done a run from/to home that has got far enough from home to enter 2020/2021-vintage out-of-bounds areas (by about 50 metres).
Real estate boards have gone up on the house on the corner and one two houses along. Somewhat strangely, even though they're being sold by the same agent the auctions are at the same time. (In fairness, there probably isn't much overlap between the markets - the corner house will almost certainly be demolished for either a rebuild or a multi-unit development, the other one is a villa unit at the rear of a block that will probably be bought by an investor). I won't get to see either auction as I'll be in Woodend helping out at a course-setting workshop (which also means I'll miss the CWA goodies for sale that I mentioned earlier in the week).
A story in today's Age said that a survey of football fans found that 45% had heard a supporter racially abusing a player (sadly plausible, although I can't remember hearing it happen myself) and 25% had heard a supporter racially abusing an umpire. They must have long memories because non-white AFL umpires are conspicuous by their absence (the only non-white field umpire I can remember is Glenn James in the 1980s).
