Molonglo - Good Run, No Rain
Today:
Distance: 23.1 km
Time: 2 hrs 17 mins 16 secs
Rate: 5' 56" per km
Altitude gain/loss: 240 metres
Calories used: 1560
Weather: cloudy, light drizzle at times, temp 18 degrees, humidity 90%, wind calm
Week: 82.4 km, Feb: 181.15 km, Year: 667.85 km
A few drops of rain overnight caused concern that the heavy rain due later today had arrived early. It wasn't to be although the overcast sky meant it could happen any time. We were very lucky with just a bit of drizzle to start, easing up to remove spray jacket after half an hour.
We did the Ewen 11 bridges run, I didn't count them but there were a few as we headed towards Campbell Park, the track around Mt Ainslie, down Anzac Parade after the War Memorial to stop for a comfort break near Stage 88 in Commonwealth Park.
That was last of the off road as we crossed LBG on Commonwealth Avenue heading towards Kingston and the new residential buildings on the Foreshore development. Not overly impressed with what has happened there, hopefully the landscape will change with some trees.
Jen & Andy were going well on the flat as they had both done all run, I was impressed with Jen with only a year of running, good pace on the flat through the wetlands and on to the finish. She has Weston Creek half marathon on her plan, she should go well with some consistency in her running.
Today was the last run of any length for Softshoeshuffle & myself with Maroondah Dam on next weekend.

Great fun to have you join us today. Hey, it rained for the first 45mins - barely a drizzle but lovely light rain nevertheless - unlike now when it's absolutely teaming down! Glad we ran early!!

Thanks for the company, and probably good in hindsight that Michelle rolled over and went back to sleep. That put a 23k race off the agenda.
Yes, Jen is one of these talented kids that doesn't know how good they could be. As is Andy, but he's no kid!

The sprint marathon relay was cancelled - just as well really as there's lots of hanging round waiting to be tagged and there would have been a few "no-shows" for sure! Glad the Stromlo Stomp went well - I guess at least if you were helping you could keep your coat on this time!!
