Run 1:37:00 [3] 17.1 km (5:40 / km)
Had planned for two hours today, but this was a day when it wasn't really working out - got the message that things weren't going well on the first hint of a hill, and unlike last week didn't build into it. Thought that I'd be satisfied with 90 but ended up going a bit further than that; last 10 minutes were the best of it, but an Achilles twinge right at the end removed temptation to try to push it out a bit further.
Finishing earlier meant that I should have been able to get an earlier train, but there had been an earlier cancellation and consequently the trains looked like they were in need of those people who supposedly exist (although I've never seen one outside Richard Scarry books) to push people into packed carriages in Tokyo; I eventually squeezed myself into the second one to pass. (One of the more impressive travel feats I've been involved with was on the 2000 World Cup trip to Japan, where eight of us with full packs managed to get ourselves onto a peak-hour train in Tokyo - albeit split between about six carriages).
Headed up to Brisbane tonight. It's definitely steamy; just walking from the airport terminal to the station was enough to get a sweat up (I wasn't surprised to see that the dewpoint was 24.5).
