Wednesday, 27 August 2008

Had a committee meeting tonight so wanted to get home at 6:30 pm to spend an hour with the children before they went to bed. Alas, I got an urgent work request right before I was about to leave so did not depart the office until almost 6:00 pm

This was the first run home to the new house, a back to the future as I would be taking the course I used to run when we lived in Coburg two years ago. I had to push the pace a bit as I wanted to make sure I spent some time at home. And I got stopped at every red light between work and Melbourne University

Took the usual course up behind the Vic Market, along Royal Pde to the other end of Princes Park and then hang a right into Park Street. Only at Lygon Street, I turned left and headed north towards Coburg

At Bell Street I went right and then left into Elizabeth, across Murray Road and up to my street. All told it was 46 minutes, but if I had done a proper slow run, probably would have been around 50 minutes

Quick dinner with the children, popped them down to bed and I was off to my meeting, albeit 15 minutes late

TOTAL DISTANCE : about ten kilometres
