Run intervals 20:00 [4] 3.2 km (6:15 / km)
Intervals session. Like yesterday, felt rather sleepy at the start but unlike yesterday didn't really snap out of it; not disastrous while the sprints were actually happening but felt rather out of sorts on the way back. Feeling rather tired at the moment (it's been a long week with the conference), and perhaps a bit sick - something which showed up more during the day but improved again by evening.
Run warm up/down 23:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:45 / km)
Definitely not one of my more vigorous warm-ups or downs, despite getting an unusually good run with the traffic on the two major road crossings.
Have discovered that the number plate YVV001 can be found just around the corner from me. Unlike NEV001 (which is, or was, owned by one of the Johnson clan), I think this is a perfectly normal number plate and nothing to do with anyone in Yarra Valley.
Also spotted later in the day was a car with the number plate '8COUNT', driven by a well-built bloke with plenty of tatts - probably not someone to get into a road-rage incident with. While on the subject of boxing, the news came through today of the passing of Arthur Tunstall at the age of 93 - which means he would have only been in his early 70s at the time of the 1994 Commonwealth Games (younger than he came across as at the time). Definitely an old-school amateur sports administrator, who appears to have done a lot for his sport even if he didn't make quite the same contribution to race relations.
