WP - the weather is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than here with a light breeze. Can be quite cool at night even in August, not unusual for hotels to put the heating on.

Ian - that will fit in nicely with your Comrades training.
Big G - sorry missed your earlier post, I think we posted at the same time.
Well done, a good week's training from you.
Very sticky and humid here, hope that lifts a bit before my run tomorrow 🥵

I'm writing this week off training wise.
Had a restless night, due to being too warm initially, which then set my back off so no run this morning.

WP we bought some shark fans in June, that stopped the hot weather for a while.
Ian good work on that 20 mid week after the gardening.
Big G well done on the good week, positive signs with the 3 day streak.
Shades hope the humidity lifts for today!
Rcouture glad the girls enjoyed their holiday and kept up the running yourself.
After the England result on Sunday, Monday was a planned recovery day but I wasn’t as bad as I thought I could be. Still no running then Tue-Thurs didn’t feel great. Yesterday at the athletics, some great races there in the middle distance, the women’s 800m at Paris could have three GB runners in the final.
Issues with car and unable to find anyone I know running, so waiting to see if I can get a cab/uber at a reasonable rate or if not, a replacement bus service and 2 mile walk to the start to start about an hour late.

Crikey Robert, I hope you get there okay!
Sorry you’ve had a bad week training wise Shades. I went to see a documentary about the band Blur on Friday night, which was really good. Of course they’re all pushing 60 now and the drummer nearly jeopardised the tour as he pulled a ligament in his knee whilst bending over to pick up a tennis ball. He said that wasn’t the least ‘Rock n roll’ injury his doctor had seen that week as another patient picked up quite a bad injury whilst making a cup of tea.
WP, sounds cold!
Ian, I hope everything is fine after your emergency call out.
Rest day here for me today. Feel like I could do with one this week, so all fine, and hope to be back on it tomorrow.
