Run 41:00 [3] 8.4 km (4:53 / km)

Came back from the Flinders with a bloodied knee and a photogenic face scratch (which will be interesting should I be called on for any TV interviews this week), but it was a less visible injury which caused me some grief today; I tweaked a hamstring during yesterday's run and while it didn't caused me any trouble then, it tightened overnight and more so on the plane back from Adelaide.

I was hoping for it to loosen on the run, a lunchtime one from work. As a run it was not unpleasant, and felt quite fresh post-weekend, but the hamstring was noticeable throughout (without impeding me except on one staircase). The route was a variation on the common lunchtime theme of the Tan, carried out for semi-political purposes. I have long suspected that the Institute of Private Enterprise consists of Des Moore and a fax machine, and on seeing its address (it's playing host to the Melbourne gig of a touring climate change sceptic next week) I thought I'd check out what their premises looked like. As I suspected from the address, it looks like a normal apartment.

The injury seems similar to one I've had a couple of times before (including during the debacle that was my 2008 Norway World Cup campaign). On those occasions it was OK within a couple of days, but this one feels a little bit worse. Unless it improves overnight I may have a change of plans tomorrow.
