Gee, it was soooo cold in Canberra today. The sudden drop in temperature brought out all the winter woollies and skarves - brrr! I went to my RPM class to warm up which I definitely did but that was at least indoors. Going to training at Parliament House after work was another story. It was so damn cold and obviously it's only a taste of things to come. Everybody was wearing long pants and long sleeved tops. Two people even wore gloves! We ran a similar course to last week except the sprints were shorter (about 580m each) as it was very dark indeed and the slow jogs between were up hills and about 350m. I was so glad I wore my headlamp as it would be very difficult to know where I was going without it. Our numbers dropped this week probably due to the cold snap. It was barely 5degrees out there this evening and I understand it's gradually heading for minus 1 overnight - brrrrr, I repeat brrrr!

I must admit that the cold kep me away. That and fear of driving to parliament house by myself during peak hour (wuss that I am).

LOL. Every time I come to Canberra I think to myself that I could live there; that it really suits my outdoor lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteAnd then winter arrives ;-)
I know just how you feel, Strewth. Cold as all get-out here too! Won't it be lovely to feel the warmth of the sun at the Gold Coast! Must see you there.
