On holidays this week so headed out this morning for a run with both dogs in increasing wind and rain. Went east along boundary track and had reached the higher flatter section when I noticed a white headed emu just ahead on the track. When it saw me it started heading our way, quickly gathering speed. It looked angry. I let go of Callum and he took off in fear, back the way we came. I quickly got off the track and stumbled into the bush with Bear hiding behind a tree. Angry emu ignored us and tore after poor Callum. I headed down the bushy spur for a bit and then turned contoured around to try and find Callum, calling. My stomach sank as I saw angry white headed emu just ahead looking about in the direction I wanted to go. I quickly back tracked and hid behind a tree again. I then headed down the bushy spur as quickly as I could with Bear attached and in slippery conditions.
Luckily angry emu didn't show again although some Roos tore past. When I got to the road I was about to ring home to see if Callum had turned up when he bolted out of the bush to join us. He looked a bit frazzled but was happy enough to keep running. Up Saddle hill back down QJD. I carried a stick the rest of the way just in case angry white head reappeared. Bit too much wildlife for me!

A winter Bridgewater run. What a nice idea. Bowling green loop on a brisk morning.

Flinders Uni sprint training. Set by AK. Fun. Glad it wasn't the confusing south section.

FU short training.

Morning run from beach house to whale watching spot at Bashams beach where all I saw a distant black line in the water. Beautiful morning. I think I almost prefer the south coast in the winter.

Using an Abc fm app. Was pretty good. Some greT hip, back, leg and shoulder stretches. With V.

Run on the beach at Middleton where we are spending a couple of nights with friends. Walked most of the last km . Legs don't feel very strong at the moment . Lovely morning on the beach. Wind turned more southerly and became much colder later when we went whale watching.
