June 2009

So June, then. A grand total of one run — 5.4 kilometres in 32 minutes on what I can only assume was a morning where I briefly remembered I own a pair of trainers. The pace came in at around 5:57 per kilometre, which is respectable enough given the context, and I apparently picked up two achievements along the way, which feels generous. Still, it was out there, it was done, and on a summer morning in June there are worse ways to spend half an hour than rediscovering your legs exist.

The comparison with May is, admittedly, not a difficult one to make — May recorded precisely nothing, not a single step logged, a month that exists in the data as a kind of sporting void. So the fact that June contains one Morning Run is, technically, an improvement of infinite percentage, which I'm choosing to take as a positive sign. Whether this represents the start of something or just a brief interruption to my otherwise committed inactivity remains to be seen. The honest answer is probably that the longer days and lighter mornings finally guilted me into it, and I'd like to think July builds on this — though I've thought that before.
