Run 2:01:00 [3] 23.0 km (5:16 / km)
Longest run for a while, starting out by heading for my old home turf, then along the far side of the Yarra for a while, out to the Bulleen freeway footbridge and back via Hays Paddock. A bit creaky in the first half-hour but not too bad on the whole. Felt like I was struggling a bit with the distance and I was definitely feeling as if I'd had enough for the day when this run came to an end - and that I'd made the right decision by not signing up for a probable 3 1/2 hours next weekend - but I can't have been fading too much because the 20th kilometre was my fastest non-downhill one of the day.
It was the warmest day since late May, and a lot of people were out and about. The man who was standing on a balcony in North Balwyn in only his underwear was clearly taking advantage of the early spring-like conditions.
