Sixty Minutes- A park investigation

A change in title you lot!

Into Centennial Park for the hour with side trips up to Oxford St and back down to the Horse Stables and Anzac Pde thrown in.
The ground was noticeably softer underfoot after the rain yesterday afternoon and last night in the area. There was actually still a pretty big puddle at one of the gates even after today's sun.

The plan was run for an hour. As I did this as an out and back I thought I would struggle to get back to the same spot. So it turned out.
Splits were 30mins for 6.09ks and then return 30mins for 5.81ks.
All up 11.90 ks in the sixty minutes. Average pace of 5:02 per klm.
Not bad on a hilly, tree rooted, sandy, grassy and dark run. More excuses for being slow.

Might sound boring now but a few months ago you would have loved to have a blog title like that!

See you there~ hopefully, trying to decide if it is tempting fate or not.

Geez mate - you really do need to examine your priorities - your running might be getting there but you really are going to have to put more work into the blog titles.

Nice to see it all coming together ;-)

'Gone in 60 minutes', 'A walk in the park', 'Slow because of sand and roots'?

I like it the way it is! Good run too!

Good run, and good journalistic reporting.
Blue Dog could start to get nervous this time next week.
