Saturday Forsyth Park 10.4km 47:53 (5:03, 4:41, 4:34, 4:29, 4:33, 4:34, 4:35, 4:36, 4:33, 4:34 + 1:37 @ 4:09) I woke up early on a Saturday for a change, and got a run in early. Cricket season has started and a junior game was in progress. I had to side step batsmen doing hit-up practice. The away side had set up a tent in the boundary. The stench of sun cream was strong. The home side sheltered under the facilities block. "Jimmy, another 2 overs and then put Billy on," the coach instructed. Other parents sat under the shelter of trees around the ground. There was goal keeping training going on in one corner of the ground. A coach was showing a youngster some throwing and diving techniques and another man was filming him. I startled a flock of glossy Ibis into flight. An agitated plover flew off at my approach. At bout 7km the run started to bite, but for the amount of training I have been doing it wasn't too bad.
