Even more pleasing is the fact that I managed some inclines in Jesmond Dene today during a 6 mile run. The conditions were very hot and humid indeed.

MARK ALLISON'S RUN ACROSS THE USA (Free subscription) | 30/06/2009

I've had a headache since Friday evening which has meant I missed a run at the weekend and a session in the gym tonight. It seems to have gone now, thankfully.
