The second run of June proved to be a nice recovery after the rather yucky run on Sunday. It was cooler and my various body parts were all better-behaved, with the hip not really factoring at all. I finished with my third best 5K pace of the year at 5:03/km. Not too shabby. Everything felt fine after, too.

As an additional bonus, there were fewer slugs (less dodging) and fewer giant clouds of bugs (less inhaling giant clouds of bugs).

I did silently curse a cyclist who was just entering the trail as I was exiting but other than that, the run was blessedly uneventful.
