Lost my watch at home yet again, but it had a broken band anyway so at lunchtime I hopped into Bourke St to buy a new one. At the same place I bought Kylie's engagement ring, they had sports watches at 60 per cent off. Sweet! So picked one up for just $20
It came in perfect for the run home. While I was planning to run four laps of Princes Park as part of my run, I gambled that my Yarra Trail/Merri Creek run might just fit the bill. And so it came to pass ...
It was 8 degrees on the Nylex clock as I passed through Richmond, along the Burnley Half Marathon course, then up through Hawthorn West and Kew. Got onto some boulevard then veered off to head to the bridge that would take me to the path towards Dight's Falls. A nice part of the run this was you pass through surreal farmland at the Collingwood Children's Farm. Surreal in that you are still virtually in the middle of the city really
Then up through Dight's Falls, pass under the Eastern Freeway and you are on the Merri Creek bike path. Made it home, or at least within two minutes of home with 1:46 on the clock and I rewarded myself by walking rest of the way home
TOTAL DISTANCE : about 21 kilometres and if true my first half marathon of the year
