Run 40:00 [3] 7.5 km (5:20 / km)
Original plan was another tourist run somewhere in the Nelson Lakes area, but I woke up to be greeted by low cloud, so decided to rearrange things a bit and do a run in Murchison, in the hope that this would give the cloud a chance to break up by the time I got to the lakes. I wasn't especially confident that it would break up (low cloud like this can persist in late autumn/early winter for weeks in Geneva, which is at about the same latitude as Dunedin), but it did.
Headed up a side road from Murchison. I expected it to be quiet and it was (saw two vehicles, one of which was a farmer's quad bike). Steady, if very gradual climb out of town and was feeling yesterday a little early on, but nice in the second half. One plus of the low cloud was that the temperature was above freezing (although not by much).
I think it would be fair to say that waiting for the cloud to break up before I got to the Nelson Lakes was worth it....(and the Marlborough Sounds aren't bad either, once you get clear of the mudflats at the Havelock end). Now on the boat across to Wellington in anticipation of the weekend's events.
