A run in Brisbane

I have been in Brisbane for 3 days now...and I finally managed a run (only about 25mins). There are two problems to running in Brisbane: 1, the heat - typical temperature is above 30 degrees, and 2, daylight - I forgot that Queensland does not have daylight savings, so by time the temperature drops a little, it is also too dark to go out running by oneself.

The weather today was actually nice and cool (with plenty of breeze) - hence the small run in the afternoon.

Hopefully, there will be a few more opportunities to go for a run...I am very keen to run a 5km race in January...so I want to keep up with the training.

I have been for a couple of walks though. The first night I was here, I took Chase (the lovely toy poodle) for a walk around the neighbourhood. I got lost after about 10 minutes...it took another 40 minuts to find my way home (just as it was getting very dark!). How silly! I didn't even know my brother's address...and I had left my cell phone at home - oops!
