June in tune ... soon
My promised weekend long run did not eventuate I'm sad to say. The usual suspect excuses have all been rounded up and a line ruled under the May running log. It was not quite as stunning a running month as I had planned, but it was respectable enough, and a good half marathon race thrown in there as well for good measure with another medal to hang on the man-cave wall.

June's first run was another of the 04:30 hill reps (that's 4:30 in the morning, not 4:30 pace I hasten to add!) - just 5km, but an honest workout, and really not a bad way to start the day. Some semblance of winter has finally hit, with cooler, wetter weather closing in. Conditions were not unpleasant for a jog though, and the rain held off long enough for me to complete my four reps of my two-hill circuit. These hills no longer seem particularly testing, and the rational part of my running brain says I should seek out some harder ones, while the humanitarian, and I think smarter part of the noggin says not to be such a fecking idiot.

Whatever the outcome of that intra-cranial battle, these are still worthwhile outings, and will need to continue through the winter.

But I really need to fire up the long weekend run again, too.
