St. Swithin's Day?

Sat Rest
Sun 3.34pm 21.24KM (2 X Roo+Lake) 90;05 (4m14 K's)
Mon 6.04pm 10.82km (Roo+Lake) Aprox 47min (4m30 K's)

It has not stopped raining!
Sat it rained all day, my left knee tendinitis and my right side groin(? I'd thought it was a hammy) have been playing up so I was happy to rest again specially as the weather was so shitehouse. We have emptied the rain gauge 3 or 4 times (that's 90mm[3.5inches] X 3 or 4 over the last three days!)
Sunday I managed to find a break in the rain long enough to get out for 90mins and not get rained on!
This morning when the alarm went off at 4.45am it was chucking it down, no way I could get out and run in that! so I rolled over!
Felt really guilty but at least I'd have the opportunity to run lunchtime or when I got home. Lunchtime it was still raining. So I got out this evening. The left knee and the right groin still playing up, so very steady pace along flooded footpaths in the dark (not my favourite!). And of course it totally chucked it down! I was saturated, the Garmin started blipping and spluttering (hence no proper time for todays run).
It was really abysmal out there, horrid, like the worst days running in the UK! Where is the Sub Tropical Sun and weather? The forecast is for about a month more rain!
It took me two and a half hours to get to work - normally takes about an hour.
These photo's shows my rail station at Petrie this morning! News storey here
