After two hot & sticky days in London and an evening of torrential rain, I escaped out earlier into a clear, cool, sunny morning. I did my quick 5.2 mile circuit… not so quickly it turned out, as it took me 50 minutes this morning. 6.24mph. I was aware that I was running more slowly, [...] The forecasters’ prediction for today was very wet, but as it turned out it was instead very warm.
