How very British of me

Talking about the weather again. Anyway, it clearly rained overnight, but that doesn't seem to have done much to reduce the humidity or cool things down. It's absolutely mingin', innit.

Went running anyway. No direct sun, as it's so cloudy, but really hot anyway. Managed to be organised enough to take a drink with me. Drinking on the run is a lot harder than I remember and definitely something I'm going to have to start practicing again. Is that an embarrassing confession I've just made, or a helpful hint for novices if any stumble across this site? Whatever.

I did exactly the same course as yesterday, 3.25 miles, but finished it 27 seconds more quickly than yesterday. All after the usual Friday night curry and 'a drink'. Can't be bad. And it's actually the first run since I restarted where I felt like a runner - the technique, breathing, coordination and all that felt right. Fingers crossed I can keep it up.

Time for work now. Waiting for the Wimbledon ladies' final, but not with as much anticipation as I'd hoped - Williams v Williams AGAIN. I have nothing against them, but when I watch them it always feels like the really amazing shots are more by luck than judgement and it winds me up that their opponents seem to psych themselves out. Hey ho.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
