I flew solo today on both the bike ride and the run. Two of the usuals were in Sydney, one is still overseas, couple on day shifts, the ladies found any excuses, too hot, too cold, Strewth's bad hair day, too cloudy, too windy, etc.
A shorter ride than normal, just by the river towards Gordon and Banks, then a similar track back, bit of bike path, bit of off road and a bit of sandy river track. Fairly easy but careful in case of "doing a CJ" over the handle bars or worse still, getting a puncture. No dramas.
Then a run down near Pine Is, around in a few circles before finishing at the beach and the water. No one else around, surprising as it had turned out to be a nice day. Usually see a few kids having a "rostered sick day" when the day is nice.
Stood in the water for nearly half an hour, kick a few grains of sand about, then jogged back to work.
Even work was good today, doesn't get much better than that.
