Everything back to normal at the RE after last weeks Beach Party and the students from nearby UQ had finished their exams, so things were quietening down.
Walked from work at Southbank to the RE, about 5.5kms, and did it in just over 45 minutes.
Warm conditions, temperature got up to around 30 degrees C.
Run tonight was the River Run, which takes in the Coronation Drive walk and bike path back towards the city to a regroup at a drink stop near Herschell Street. FRTs tonight included Scruffy, PeeWee, JC and Rhubarb, with Miles and me tagging along in the rear. It's taking longer than expected to get my running fitness back to where it was before the operation and holidays, but I'm happy to take it easy for as long as it takes and manage it better than I have in the past when coming back from any sort of break.
Miles and I shortcut, rather than going up to the regroup at Herschell we turned off at the tunnel and continued on the rest of the route from there, which came out on Cribb St, along Railway Terrace to Park Road, turned left on Park Road Milton, then right into Douglas and Kilroe before traversing Dunmore Park and on up too the Auchenflower railway station. Through the railway station the run headed on down Eagle Terrace, crossed over Dixon Street passed the basketball courts and up over the hill in Toowong Memorial Park, crosses the Wests Rugby fields, Sylvan Road and headed into the car park of Toowong Village, where it came out on High Street and back to the start.
It was a bit of an effort tonight, probably due to the heat and both Miles and I felt stuffed. We got back not long before the other runners and JC called a circle where Brengun was acclaimed Corgi of the week for the umpteenth time for some misdemeanor that I can't remember.
Then it was off to the pub for a welcome cool ale or two before heading off.
