Believe it or not, this was actually my first run of the week because of the hot weather. Fortunately, the run to the shop for Mr G was well worth it - South Acton turned out to be much breezier than South Ealing, while Chiswick was even better in that regard, especially Sainsbury's, where the air conditioning was a welcome relief.

There were no special cooling-down items on Mr G's shopping list, just the usual products, including an additional bag of walnut halves.

In total, I ran about 6.5 km, with a cooling break along the way, and survived. I now feel ready for a weekend full of running and missions. Bring it on!
