After a quite successful 'Shuffle around Parkville' this morning I figured I ought to run another one when I get back from overseas. 

Effectively, I like to run on Saturday mornings and usually take it a pretty easy pace, I figured last week why not post it as a trip so others can come along too and we can yap the whole way!

I will be very jet lagged but getting outside and experiencing the little sun Melbourne has to offer in August is the best mechanism for getting over it!

I haven't planned a route yet but it'll probably be about 60mins of running, we will run from clubrooms.

Update:

Written from the US east coast so sorry for the middle of the night update.

I've planned the route!

10.4km, around melbourne and along the river, so pretty flat like last time again.

We will run south towards flagstaff gardens before joining the Capital City Trail (mixed trail so stick to the left), before making out way back north via the birrarung marr, yarra park. Crossing jolimont reserve and under the tracks to Fitzory gardens.  We will make our way back up the hill before heading up the hill of Fitzroy and Carlton gardens before heading back down to crooms. As previous participants have before, you are allowed to leave part way through the run but please tell me before the run starts. There is pretty much every train and tram route this city has to offer along this route.


Petra will run through some details at the meeting on Tuesday.
