June in tune ... soon

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Well five days in the mountains has done a lot to clear my head and recharge the batteries somewhat. However ... not a single step was run. In one sense this was deliberate although I did take my running gear with me. Mrs MLCMM even put me to shame somewhat by doing my runs for me ... truly! She trotted out a couple of nice 7km runs in sub-zero temperatures, which in my books makes her a serious runner, although she's still a long way from admitting as much.

Anyway, for me the freedom from pressures of the training schedule was helpful, albeit with that nagging little thought about a September marathon tucked away in the back of my mind next to Timeline Department containing the internal clock and alarm bells.

At this stage of proceedings however the priority is to get my sanity back to full bottle, all hands on deck, top-notch, fully-engaged mode. A dose of clean mountain air and little-to-no pressure to do anything other than keep the log fire stoked and to relax with a decent book has helped enormously.

Now I'm back to work and hopefully some semblance of a normal routine. Which will of course include a little light jogging.

And the first big bonus of the return to normality - I arrived at work today to find my boss, his boss and his boss as well (all three of which have conspired to make life miserable these past two years) all interstate for a few days and therefore off my radar. Bonus!
