I spy another Coolrunner.
The Sri Chinmoy website has published some photos from Sundays run. There was a few pics of me but I found this one that I am kind of happy with.
I went for a run along the Yarra River in Melbourne today. I ended up running a 10.58km in 0:51:38. I ran out 5.2km following the river but when I couldn't find somewhere to cross I had to turn back and return to work.
At about 6.9km I was surprised to see another runner heading towards me wearing a Coolrunning cap. After the initial shock I recognized Steve out for one of his Yarra runs. We stopped and chatted for a short time but I had to push on back to work.
The splits from today's run. The 5:26 time included climbing some stairs to cross the river at the rail bridge.
I made it back with about 15 minutes to clean up, change and grab a Boost Juice (they help me cool quickly after a run) before running my 5pm Williamstown train.
Except for the time constraints todays run was very enjoyable. Exploring a different path was interesting and the chance encounter with Steve made my day. I will endeavor to get out along side the Yarra River more often.

Looks like your recovery is going great! Those strong legs in the picture are doing some good work!!
I thought it'd be a bit tight for you getting back. 15 mins to spare is not a lot of time. At least the passengers don't have to sit with you.
Capital City Trail dude - as soon as you are recovered give it a go!
LOL - got here via Steve's blog, waiting for my next SMS from Connex, "we regret to advise that the 5:10 train today is not running as our driver is still out having his run" :-)
1000s wouldn't understand but I would!
Beki pointed you out to me last Sunday, I was on your tail as I finished the 5Km event. Hope you enjoyed your 30Kms.
Once again i have to say look how far you have come!!!
As for trains nobody expects they will run on time.Thats normal.
Have a great day!

a "chance encounter" sounds so...
...Mills and Boon?
Great pic SD! Are you alway so colour co-ordinated? And who is that CR hot on your tail?
Sometimes I wish I was closer to town so that I could use the Yarra trail more.
Looks like you had a great run on Sunday. Good to catch up, even if we didn't get to chat!
That was a good corner for pics, the guy with the camera at the top of the hill on the dog leg got some shockers though LOL :-)
