Only Cirque and the ducks.....

....were at the lake this morning, apart from two swamphens, a goose and one very wet, bedraggled crow.

There was one other woman who turned up briefly wearing long pants and a strange poncho-like creation and holding a huge umbrella, but at the first sound of thunder she turned around and scuttled back to the carpark.

So I had a lovely solo walk/run in the rain. It was more fast walking than running, because I still feel sick and my stomach didn't take too kindly to being bounced up and down too much.

The best news is that I have some DOMS in my calves which must be from my bike ride on Friday. The reason I'm excited about that is that until now, my bike rides have been solely about trying to stay vertical, but maybe this means I'm actually starting to get some proper pedalling action going.
