Interval session on the Todd riverside path south of town. Felt pretty reasonable for the most part and picked up a bit in pace later on. Not a straight route which for some reason always feels a bit easier mentally.

Have started to develop a bit of accelerator ankle over the last couple of days, but it hasn't bothered me while running (and with two days mostly on cruise control ahead it should get plenty of time to settle down).

Warm-up and down, via slightly different routes. This added four new streets to my list, although it looks like one of them might be getting a new name soon (not without good reason). Passed a statue of Stuart which is also somewhat contentious, although it seems more because it's a relatively modern statue organised by the Freemasons rather than that Stuart himself was a particularly contentious historical figure (at least by the standards of 19th century Europeans in outback Australia), and also went past an establishment which I'm guessing will be high on Anna Campbell's list if she ever makes it to Alice Springs.

Headed to the East Macdonnells today, with my parents - they're on a trip based around the Ghan and our paths crossed here (we planned our trips independently and then realised they would intersect in Alice Springs). The range is smaller than the West Macdonnells but there are still some impressive spots, notably Trephina Gorge. There were a few spots of rain coming back, the first time I've been rained on since coming out of Miles.
