Another reasonably encouraging day by the standards of the last 12 months. Whilst I would hardly regard this run as stunning by past standards, being able to get through a run of this length without undue difficulty (and feeling as if I had at least a bit left at the end) is definitely a positive. Only minor back issues, even on the hills (modest ones; we're talking two- or three-contour affairs here). Without being too convoluted about it, drew a few new lines in Croxton and on the north side of Darebin Road. Nice morning to be out too.

Had a physio session this evening. She partly worked on my quads which were a bit touchy even after a modest session. Didn't like to think how it would have felt like doing that after, say, the Six Foot Track.

I also discovered that the Six Foot Track is not the only place in that part of the world with a geographic feature named for a piece of meteorological equipment (the (in)famous Pluviometer Hill). I was looking for the location of Cedar Ford on the Kowmung River (upstream of Warragamba Dam), one of the sites which had a record flood level last week. The coordinates I had were only to 0.01 degree precision (1km or so) so I wasn't surprised to feed them into Google Maps and find a spot which wasn't a river. What this did show, though, was that the nearby track was called Gauging Station Track. I would speculate that the actual location of the instrument is somewhere in close proximity to where said track intersects the river.
