July
I was determined to have horrible run this morning and hey presto! a real trudge. Such a shame, as the good Lord had made every effort, dousing the hills liberally throughout the night before hauling the sun into a clear blue sky. Clouds hovered nervously on the horizon not daring to set a fluffy white foot nearer less that foot be vapourised in an instant. A cooling breeze out of the west completed a near-perfect scene, yet still I lumbered, rusty, grumpy, determined to suffer all the way. It was criminal really, my inability to embrace the gifts laid out before me, but there it is; sometimes you're just not up for it. Guilty as charged, M'lud.

After a lacklustre stretch I spent ten minutes under the shower letting the water hit me, easing the temperature control towards cold so as not to carry on sweating afterwards*. I felt like Bob Hoskins after he'd murdered Charlie from Casualty in The Long Good Friday, the camouflaged evidence of my crime swirling around the plughole. Now, if only I had Helen Mirren waiting to comfort me . . .

Yesterday's visit to the gym was no different. Everything felt like an impossible task. I even hit the treaddie - usually a no-no - in an effort to spice up the session, but every one of the fifteen sweat-splashed minutes was purgetory. I'm going through a tough patch but it looks like I'll have to get in line for my tea and sympathy.

Five warm hilly miles in well over fifty minutes. Ugh.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
