WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Douglas Adams: Forty-two.

For Saturday’s run at Gungahlin - two laps of Yerrabi Pond - 7.8k - we all had a bit of a jog. It was a very nice course!! Fairly flat and on the recreation path. And I saw the "famous" pelican sculptures for the first time.
There were very few runners competing at Yerrabi; anyone who could put one foot in front of the other was down in Sydney for the City 2 Surf. And what glorious sunny weather they had in Sydney this year! Typical of this weekend, every year. Although I did hear there was heavy hail in Sydney yesterday.
Gungahlin was lovely and warm and sunny too.
