Why is Tuesday the running day around here? - 16:03
As I have said from time to time I find running a hard sport, it makes you
work, there is no where to hide and I still do not find much love for the
activity. However I do do some running for a variety of reasons. Today I headed
out for a 13 KM run (from ANU up through Haig park to Mt Ainslie reserve,
along the front there to Mt Ainslie Drive then down to the lake vie the back
of Campbell and Russell park then along the lake shore back to ANU) but it is
a Monday so I must be some sort of anomaly.
I say this as I am somewhat surprised to see a lot of running happening on Tuesday evenings. The Bilbys main run session for each week is Tuesday nights at Dickson oval year round (in winter between 30 and 50 people tend to be there, in summer upwards of 100 are there often). ARNuts, a group of Adventure Racing people in Canberra (most of whom are far faster than me) do a weekly long run every Tuesday night. Today I saw the ANU Mountaineering Club is also doing a regular Tuesday evening run. So I wonder what is it about Tuesday that makes it attractive to run groups in Canberra.
Sure good runners such as the ARnuts all do many other runs a week (something I need to emulate to improve, ie run more) but it is a bit weird this Tuesday evening running obsession around here.
