Sometime the figures don't tell the full story. Today's look very slow, but it was tough going along the river track today as a result of the rain that fell last week.
Long grass and large holes along the track to make it difficult at the Point Hut end.
Now, about 400 metres before the south end car park at Pine Is, a large section of the track has been washed away leaving a gap about 2 metres wide and a metre or so deep. It's on a corner and a little dangerous especially on a mountain bike or not concentrating when running.
I rang Canberra Connect and reported that the area needs to be fenced off until something permanent, eg, a bridge, can be put in place.
The rest of the run was quite good, a nice morning to be out and about.
I'll be off to Tassie for a funeral later this week so I expect not much running will be done while away. I should be back home on Sunday.

Even the track up to Rose Cottage is an ankle-buster if you're not careful.
When you're back from Tassie, shout yourself a 50" plasma - you can get a Panasonic for not much over a grand.

Yes that's what I just bought. 3D, too. It's even in colour! Plus a home theatre set-up with a blueray player. And it cost very little.

Yep, I agree. All long distance runners deserve the best TV/DVD technology. It's part of quality recovery.
