Escher, Newton, Aldi

It was one of those mornings when every time you turn a corner you see some Everest-level hill climb staring you in the face, taunting. Strangely, there didn’t seem to be any corresponding downhills, despite the fact that I ended up back where I started.

Either my perception is a bit warped or Ringwood, Croydon and Mooroolbark have somehow shed the bounds of Newtonian physics.

I think the second option is more likely. If Newton showed his face at Ringwood station he’d get the c**p beaten out of him. Either that or sold some drugs that would have put back western science 150 years.

Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but whoever designed the roundabout system near Aldi in Croydon was clearly a fan of Escher. I can never work it out and end up going around the same roundabout about 12 times, accelerating until I achieve escape velocity and fly off somewhere in the direction of Kent Road.

Anyway - this morning’s run was 17.6954km at an average of 4.5 minutes per kilometre.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m pretty happy with my running at the moment. The challenge will be to not let it drop off much over the next week or two. I’ll be off work from tomorrow, so I’ll probably post less often.

Have a wonderful christmas and New Year.
