running (Red Hill) 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 22
G & I are in Canberra for a whole 25 hours, so from the hotel in Forrest I ran the full length of Red Hill ridgeline and from the lookout I saw a yellow hot air balloon hovering above Lake Burley Griffin, then near the restaurant there were Gang Gang cockatoos eating the sheoak-apples in the trees. Further south beyond Davidson trig were lots of roos, which didn't even bother getting off the path as I passed by. Perhaps they too didn't want to go into the thistles (hopefully no orienteering event is planned there any time soon).
After I came off the ridge at Hindmarsh Drive I meandered through the suburbs a bit, admiring large houses and noticing the explorers'/surveyors' street names as usual - but I didn't go down Goyder towards Karina's house because instead we were going to her memorial service down by the lake today.

it's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
the day you went away"
