And then, I went for what I thought would be a quick visit to Horse Guard State Park:

Zan made the suggestion of meeting halfway to go for a trail run, and that was an excellent idea. We met up at Bigelow/Nipmuck State Forest and tried to get to Breakneck Pond. Tougher than it appears when your map is pants, trails are badly blazed, and you're being attacked by insects the whole time. One bit me, drew blood, and now I have a bruise. Little bastards. Nevertheless, this was a lot of fun. The last fifty mins were more walk run than run, but the trail was constantly up and down. Excellent chat as always, and a lot more exercise than I'd have done otherwise!

Sweaty evening walk around Sleeping Giant was all we could manage today after a gruesome day with the mice.

Of course, I stay in bed the day someone finally beats the Frenchman!

It's almost nice outside today! Giving the bike a wee tune up also helped.

And home gain early, as the big mouse was having birth problems, and so I will need to go back tomorrow. She may be stressed out enough that there will be no pups left by then. Poor thing. Only work I had to do was finish a grant I'm writing with Rob, so that was done.

I am feeling the summer slump big time, can't really find the energy to do anything of note. Cross Fit therefore feels like a massive waste of money - at least that should motivate me to do some. Mornings are the key I think.

Made it to Cross Fit. Felt awful. Bizarrely, the recovery jog just after the Airdyne was by far the worst thing. Perhaps it is just the heat. Currently sitting eating breakfast watching lightning strike everywhere around, so it's a few degrees cooler finally. In fact, it's not even as warm as it was in the UK a few days ago yet!

Still feel sick.

Yuck! The air was sludge this morning and my legs didn't want to move.

Cycled home, felt sick.
