Sunday 2.1

Endomondo Running Workout: "19.01 km in 2h:08m:16s"

Four of us turned up! It's a new record! Anyway, it was a very social run. The best weather in about a month; the river is still very muddy dealing with stormwater runoff. If you follow the run on the map the big left turn (south) at about 6.7 km is past what I call the "Earlwood waterfall" - it is a waterfall, albeit down a concreted drainage channel. Turns out it does have a proper name, Cup and Saucer Creek. Presumably it wasn't concreted when it got that name. It's amazing how many watercourses there are around when you start looking; of course, it's less amazing in the historical/geographical context, bearing in mind that the whole Cooks River area was swamp. Perhaps what is more amazing is how easily oblivious one can be to one's surroundings. Especially from a car.
