Calm and Collected

Today:
Distance: 22.15 km
Time: 2 hrs 8 mins 17 secs
Rate: 5' 47" per km
Weather: sunny, mild, temp 16 degrees, humidity 40%, wind from NNE at 10 kmph

Week: 61.05 km
Sept: 61.05 km
Year: 2958.2 km

Today's title reflects the change in the conditions as the sea has finally calmed down to a lovely flat surface, no waves crashing into the base of the cliffs. The collected reflects the holiday mode I am currently enjoying. So far so good.
The wind has finally eased as well and is now out of the north, so a little warmer making good running conditions No need to hold on to the hat when it could have finished half way to the South Pole a few days ago.
I went a little closer to South Aust today, not by much, following the GSWW track westwards along Bill's Walk, Smelter Nature Walk, and Sam's Walk, over Two Bob's Bridge ( not built for 2o cents but by two men both called Bob). I could have kept going to the Cape Nelson Lighthouse, that is a good run, magnificent scenery just like the tracks on the cliffs in Royal National Park near Sydney.
Finished the run with a 15 minute recovery in the salt water at Pivot's Beach, I was surprised that the water was not as cold as the Murrumbidgee River at Pine Is at home, I guess there is no snow in the sea to cool it down. Great for the legs and injury prevention.
Hope to get a shorter run in tomorrow before heading home on Friday and going up Mt Rob Roy on Saturday. A week is not long enough but any holiday beats working.
