Slow Again
Today:
Distance: 20.3 km
Time: 2hrs 4 mins 45 secs
Rate: 6' 08" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 16-17 degrees, humidity 50%,, windy from NW
Week: 68.4 km
Sept: 180.25 km
Year: 3077.4 km
Earlier this week I wrote about the need for a few easy days after a rest day. Well, the weather improved and today was nice and sunny, a bit of a breeze but OK and I had plenty of time in the middle of the day to go for a run. Admittedly, the distance both yesterday and today was not short but the pace was on the slow side. Very comfortable I would say with a bit of speed on some flat parts and down hill but barely moving on some of the up hill parts.
On days like today, I prefer to stay near the river so I headed down that way and finished going past Red Rocks Gorge arrived at Kambah Pool. Up the road to the golf course, over to Gleneagles and across the paddocks ( the fastest part) to Tuggie Creek crossing over on the bridge before getting back to Pine Is. Stopped for the usual standing in the water for 10 minutes before a slow jog back to work. The reconstruction work after the floods has partly stuffed the beach at Pine Is, too many small rocks and a steep bank into the water. Another few kms in the bank although the speed needs to be reintroduced shortly.

I wish the river wasn't so far away. GH did sound like fun. You'd be good for 22 hours.
You were right about the 3 wheels ;)
