High June

High June

and made more difficult still by the twelve weeks of winter through which I must train, today being the very first official day of the season of dread for those who cavort about in singlets and shorts in the name of athleticism. It's a cruel form of lunacy, and not one I've ever really successfully mastered through the dark, coldest months of the year as it is here on the remote, lower parts of the southern side of the globe.

You're having a laugh are you not?  12 weeks of winter?  Difficult... in Sydney?  

Does the temperature actually drop below freezing?  Have you run in rain so heavy that your shorts foam?  Have you suffered from early stages of frost bite (admittedly I was biking not running, but still), have you run through the field of incontinent cows in the middle of an English winter?  

Having said all that, I've abandoned track running this evening because it's too hot... going straight to the pub instead...
