Lake Burley Griffin...

yesterday's golf was back to average, just missed out on getting a ball but Suze played 3 shots better than her handicap and is back off 7...

elected to do today's long run around Lake Burley Griffin (central & west basin)...parked near the Carillon and headed over Kings Ave bridge before crossing back over Commonwealth Ave bridge to continue on past the Fairy Terminal...

Bob H passed me on his bike as I was approaching the road to the arboretum (the lakeside one not the new one)...we had a quick chat before he continued on his merry way to Deeks' Dunny to meet a mate for a run...passed Robbie C on the dam (and then again near Lennox Gardens)...also passed the ladies setting up for the jogalong...

passed back under Commonwealth Ave bridge before re-crossing Kings Ave bridge and doing a short out and back along Kings Parks to finish back at my car...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 16.8/81% (rising to 19.5/65%)
start time: 6:57am
total distance: 24.18

did a puzzle cache nearby then headed home...Jodie did her 80mins run out on part of my normal long run route...

have a had a quiet afternoon...we did some cache maintenance on a couple of Suze's caches but other than that have been glued to the cricket...

Nice overdistance run for Cadbury. Did you spot any toadstools down at the Fairy Terminal?

Ewen, are you questioning my friend's spelling? How goof is yours?

p.s. looks like being warm but quite humid for track on Thursday. Saltry.

No fairies but the Easter Bunny was in hiding under the bridge.

I'd prefer it if it was sultry.

Have you seen the fairies lurking in the trees?
