Beautiful Winter Day

Today:
Distance: 15.1km
Time: 76'09"
Rate: 5'02" per km
Weather: very cool, sunny,calm, temp 4-7 degrees, humidity 55%
Week: 59.55km
June: 156.8km
Year: 2033.65km

After a big frost this morning with overnight temperature down to -4 degrees, winter produces days like today in the ACT. With a crisp feeling in the air even at midday, these days are great for running. Little to no wind over the same course as Wednesday helped stop the clock nearly 2 minutes sooner. Down by the river, the kangaroos were trying to catch some sun to thaw out, so they didn't bother to stand to say hello as I jogged past.
The river certainly has gained some flow in the last few days with water levels well above where they were just a few weeks ago. I haven't been brave enough to test the temperature yet. Just another reason not to go out to the Cotter running in winter, trying to get through Vanity's Crossing would be very painful.
Today's run would be the best for some time now and the return to a meaningful plan would seem to be paying dividends. Quite looking forward to the off road half marathon in a week's time over at Googong Dam.
