After the storm hiccup, I am back in the groove and have managed 100k for each of the last two weeks. The last week has been quite trying as the humidity has been really high. Still have managed to avoid what now seems like a daily evening storm during the work week. I thought conditoions may have been better early in the morning but I reckon it was around 99% humidity on this morning's long run and it really sapped the energy out of me in the last half hour. It could be a long summer.

Here is some video that has been doing the rounds of that storm that hit The Gap.
