Run 41:00 [3] 7.4 km (5:32 / km)
First post-championships run, out into the south end of Ivanhoe. Didn't feel too enthusiastic at the start and took a bit of time to get my Achilles going, but felt OK once I got into some hills, then hit a very nice rhythm in the last kilometre just when it was time to finish, which I take as a good sign.
Haven't been game to take to the riverside paths yet - suspect it would be a mudfest. Even a couple of millimetres of rain was enough to get the Darebin and Merri Creeks into full flow, an indication of how saturated the catchments currently are.
