A cool rainy afternoon made for perfect conditions for a long slow run.
I set out barefoot, but when a sudden downpour hit just as I reached the city, the slipperiness on the path made my feet extremely tender - on with the Fingens. Seems from this point, the tenderness didn't dissipate much and my form deteriorated with distance. Again the 10-15km limit on the VFF's seemed to kick in and the homeward journey from UWA was distinctly tedious. Total 27km - no time (but sloooow).
Happily, I had a friend - a dolphin moved along the river wall alongside for some time. Now this can't be something that happens everyday!
Well, only yesterday i was cleaning the bath tub and as i scrubbed the sides i was watched, from a distance, by a friendly whale. We chatted as i cleaned until i finished, pulled the plug and waved goodbye as i watched him breach and swim down the plug hole.
