Well our weather good fortune continues:
1.Tuesday night, with the advancement of clouds on the horizon and a few micro particles of water droplets, a fitmate commented at 7.24pm that it was going to rain & the theory about it never raining between 6.30-7.30pm on Tuesday & Thursday nights was about to be broken.

I mentioned that we still had 6 minutes to go before the end of the session and the rain we be held off until such time.

We finished the session & within 5 minutes it bucketed down.

2.Today, it rained heavily overnight and continued into the morning.
Well with 12 hardened Fitmates attending the session, we proceded to a covered area of the park, then just as we completed some high intensity cardio, it started to rain heavily.

We continued the session while protected from the elements.
The rain stopped conveniently while we retreated back to the Rotundra to stretch.

With only light rain we decided to stay in the rotundra.
The Sun made a brief appearance and we continued to stretch.
After finishing the session at 9.30am all the fitmates went home and the inclement weather stated again with heavy rain & hail.

Well after 4 months of rain free training at Edinburgh Gardens on Tuesday & Thursday nights, it has come to an end.

On Thursday night it rained consistently for the full 60 minutes. We retreated to the heriatge listed grandstand.

To the amusement of a a young couple enjoying the city views while under the watchfull eye of 50 adorning pidgeons, the fitmates trained, while the young couple gave words of encouragement with the odd question “can you show me how to tighten the right butt cheek”

The fitmates finished training and the couple resumed what young couples do and continued to drink vodka & orange while puffing on non police endorsed substances:))

With the threat of imminent rain & dark gloomy skies on the horizon, our record of 3 months without rain between 6.30pm-7.30pm at Edinburgh Gardens remains in tact, although it did sprinkle a few drops while we were stretching in the Rotunda:(

it amazes me how this particular longitude and latitude escapes Melbourne’s rainfall.
