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.

Royal Exchange Hash, Wednesday 13th November, 2013
Did the usual thing, walked from Southbank to Toowong after work, taking around 45 minutes.
Coronation Drive was like a car park, there were traffic delays all over Brisbane for some reason.
The weather was showery, warm, and storms threatened.
Got to the RE and found that they had their annual Beach Party on, and access to the Post Office car park via the pub was blocked off. Had to go right round and come in from the High Street alleyway. Usually the party is on a Thursday, very inconvenient of them to change it to our Hash night.
Due to the traffic chaos around the city a lot of the members hadn't turned up by the designated start time so we waited a while before setting off on the Girl's Gallop Run. Surprise visitors were Catgut, Grewsome and Wee Lassie, from Breakfast Creek Hotel Hash, who had decided to try out a night with the RE.
The Girl's Gallop run goes through Toowong Village, turns right on Jephson Street, and heads
across Sylvan Street, along Croydon, crosses Milton Road into Morley, turns right into Gregory St, left. into Musgrave and right again into Frederick St along side the cemetary. Then there's a long climb up to Birdwood for a regroup. The group at this stage consisted of Peewee, Grewsome, Catgut, JC, Royal Screw, Rhubarb, with me and Brengun staggering up in the rear.
After the regroup it's down Birdwood all the way to Torwood, where we turn right and invariably wait at the lights to cross Milton Road again. The run then carries on along Eagle Tce for a little while, then under the railway line on Camford St, turns right into Kilroe, lrft into Roy, and makes its way to under Coronation Drive via the car park building to the bike-way and back to the RE.
As I am still trying to regain my fitness after a 3 month layoff, I dropped way back and ended up shortcutting back via Eagle Tce, and Wests Rugby grounds, along with Screw, who is struggling with injuries.
The OnOn was transferred to the gaming bar at the RE as our usual bar had been overrun by students at the beach party.
