Pool running 45:00 [3] 0.7 km (1:04:17 / km)
Another step towards some sort of normality (and it took a further step towards normality during the course of the session, as the clock struck six and the changerooms opened).
With meetings scheduled from 5-7.30am, I was tossing up between a later morning session and one at the end of the day. I'd gone for the end of the day, and it was as well that I did, as I spent quite a bit of said meetings watching trees swaying in the gale out the window and wondering how many of them would still be there by lunchtime. (The answer in Fairfield was nearly all of them, but there was still ample evidence in my evening trip that Balwyn was not so lucky, particularly the row of horizontal trees at Macleay Park). Not sure I would have even been game to try to run early in the day had that featured in my plans.
There was a fair bit of rust to shake out in the water, but it ended up being a reasonable session. Seemed to loosen up my back, which was a bit tight during the day today, as well.
Definitely did not go anywhere near a shopping centre this evening (I do have a few things on my shopping list, but will save most of it for when things have settled down a bit, although a bookshop does feature in my plans for tomorrow).
