Thursday May 2 #
8 AM
Pool running 45:00 [3] 0.7 km (1:04:17 / km)
This was a slightly frenetic morning after I'd accidentally turned my alarm off last night, but then as it turned out my back wasn't any good for running this morning anyway so I swapped today's and tomorrow's plans. Took me a long time to loosen up in the pool too, but did so eventually. It's the time of year where Fitzroy's starting to get down to the hard core.
12 PM
Run 34:00 [3] 5.8 km (5:52 / km)
Part 2 was a lunchtime run, heading towards the CBD (something I keep for days when I think my body might want a few traffic stops). Tough going for the first 10 minutes but improved considerably thereafter - helped with the flow that I got a good run with the traffic coming back. Nice lunchtime to be out again after the morning low cloud broke up.
The route started out along the Yarra to Birrarung Maar, then round a few blocks in the southeast quarter of the centre before heading back along Flinders Lane. Ticked off a couple more streets in the central grid (at least according to what I've actually run although the GPS doesn't always agree). Two demos today on the steps of Parliament (one Palestine, one public housing), both with a banner and a handful of people (in the former case most of the action currently seems to be at the universities).
Something which is increasingly noticeable when riding home after sunset is that a lot of the bike lane traffic is food delivery riders on e-bikes, some of whom are better than others (pretty sure that using a handheld mobile while riding is just is illegal as doing it while driving). They're not as nuts as the 1990s couriers though.
