Pre-Dawn trip to Glasshouse Rocks for a set of 4 x 2500m Beach Intervals. Weather cool to warm, no wind, nobody on the beach except Munchkin the Border Collie and myself, a delight running on fast, firm sand at pace. Back at home a long warm down. Low tide gets progressively later over the next fortnight. I may give the beach running a break until the Tide cycle turns favourable again. Tour de France Cycling begins on 6th July making it an easy choice to run locally.

Morning trip to Glasshouse Rocks for a set of 4 x 500m Beach Intervals Racing Munchkin the Border Collie. Weather cool, no wind.Back at home a second run on my regular Hill Loop. Last evening spent watching Criterium du Dauphine on TV with a finish at Plateau du Mont Cenis. The only time I've been to this location was on my way to Italy for the Giro. It was so cold I opened the car doors and shut them again. Nothing was open in the village and a big empty car park. Next Stop Tour de France TV watching. On my warm down run a Humpback Whale spotted very close to shore, regretfully no camera with me on this run. It must be among the last Humpbacks to be heading north for breeding. They will be returning with their New Borns in coming months.Last year the southerly migration was in full swing in October.
