Title: Monday, 1/26/15
Post by: Eco Ellen on January 26, 2015, 10:50:27 AM

Seven miles, nine degrees, -1 windchill, 5:25 am.  I wore my daughter's balaclava, which was too small but kept the chill off. 

This was supposed to have been a ten mile run with five at threshold, but I couldn't make it happen.  The ice was too much.  I'd get up to speed, then tiptoe through a big ice patch, get up to speed, walk around on the crunchy snow, get up to speed, etc.  Then my watch battery died at mile three so I just went to where I was pretty sure it was 3.5 miles and turned around and went home.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will have to be treadmill runs.

5 miles in heavy snow & wind. Normally today is my rest day, but I did tomorrow's run before the snow gets too deep.

6.30am Fine and Mild 18c. and no humidity.
One of those stop start runs. You know how it is just ambling and dreaming away.
Today I was running along the Dandernong creek and stopped to look at a couple of little native orchids, then about 10 minutes later on stopped to watch a Bushy tail possum and a couple of white cockies dicing it out for a hollow tree branch. I'll give the possum his due, he was holding his ground for the five or so minutes I was watching them;  they were still going hammer and tongs on my return towards home.
A good run; a smidge over 12km/8mile.
