Thirty seconds after leaving the house for a run the rain came down. Fortunately it stopped after only a few minutes but the temperature was really cold and on the way out I was struggling against a head wind. I wore a few layers and eventually was able to take off the gloves, ear warmers and spray jacket! On the return journey the wind eased and it became more pleasant as the sun shone in brief bursts.
Total distance: 12km
I did forget to mention that over the past two Wednesdays, due to constant rain, I ran with Chris and Ewen for 7-8km in the Parliament House carpark. When we were tired of running in one direction we turned and ran in the other direction. Great conversation made for good company and helped pass the time. There was even some political discussion which put me in the right frame of mind for when I was asked to meet with speedygeoff and Roger as representatives of the baby boomer generation to give our views of the election campaign to the Canberra Times. They had also interviewed the Y and X generations earlier. It was fun and resulted in an article in the paper just before election day.
Of course now we are still waiting to find out the final results of the election. In the meantime it looks like we have a "hung" parliament.

Except for the clock over Roger's head (which is counting down the time to our new government), I like the second photo. We get to see Spody's running shoes as well as his flanney ;)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy helping solve the world's problems on those Wednesday runs. Hopefully I'll be back there next week.
A photo of three speedygeese all in a row ... could be a preview of the "balance of power"?
