The Winter cold has returned with a vengeance ! Both mornings it was about 10 O C .
I found that me face (mouth) seemed to freeze up, so as I ran past the occasional walker/dog walker/runner! my "G'Day" or "Good Morning" was slurred like a 10 pint Saturday night. I ended up calling "Right" (as in the shortend version of 'alright') to appear slightly less drunk.
On Tues I ran up to two roos that were right beside the path. Normally they get spooked when you get close and hop off to safety, but these two just stood there and let me pass within touching distance! This morning as I headed down my road I must have spooked a family of roos as I suddenly found I had a whole family of roos bouncing along right beside me! I could see that the lead roo was trying to cut in front of me to head up a side road which was not a good idea as it was all residential up that road. I tried to keep them penned in, to stay within the nature verge in my road but unfortunately the leading two roos managed to 'gap me' and head up the side road! In all likelyhood they all probably regrouped and headed back to the safety of the golf course after being frightened off by a 48yr old male in tights and long sleeved top, wearing a beaney and slurring "G'Day/Good Morning/Right" !!

Packs of roos is certainly what is missing from the paths by the river in inner Brisbane where I run. Only pesky cyclists who are equally as hard to pen in.
