Sunrise Sunset



Thurs 5.00am 16KM Cadel+Roo 63m45


I pushed hard around the final 6k. I came across Helen Stanton who was just starting her run, I didn't slow down to chat as I wanted to get a new fastest time.


Great news at the Southern Hemisphere tilts closer to the Sun on it year long elliptical journey, I start to see first light in the sky around 5.45am and the prospect of running morning runs in daylight on the grass verges gets closer!

For comparison, have a look at Melbourne!! Their days will get longer and longer whilst by comparison we have really short Summer days. There daylight is currently increasing by close to 2 mins a day, whilst ours is increasing by 1m18s.
