Run out to coottha to check out the flooded creeks after the cyclone went through. The first part up to Simpsons falls with Dan, then he turned around and I ran up Simpsons, along the top of the ring road and back down through frosties. The council trail destroyers have been busy. most of toilet block is now a highway and a big section of frosties as well. soon there will be no decent tracks left. The creeks were all up and there were a couple tricky crossings.
I was pretty slow for most of this - only started to get going after an hour, and then died again at 1.30. Not surprising really, the only other things I'd managed all day were a long sleep in and about 5 hrs of naps.

I think my garmin is massively overestimating climb, so I'm just going to half what it says.

sanity run around anzac park in the dark and rain. really nice to be out in the (relatively) cool conditions - 25C and 95% humidity. It was sort of raining, but the rain just seemed to be forming in the surrounding air rather than falling from the sky. Its only going to get soggier in the next few days, apparently that cyclone has turned into a pretty serious storm.

hot yoga. started with a set of sun salutes with feet sliding on a towel for extra core strength evilness.

Run home from work. Warm afternoon and running into the sun for a while along coro drive was tough. Calves were a bit unhappy early on after the weekend's silliness.
My legs are obviously not used to this kind of steady running on hard surfaces as everything started to tighten up a bit for the last third.

I like doing this run as its a much nicer way to get home from work than driving... just a pity that getting to work to set it up is a bit convoluted.
