Windy – saw this briefly yesterday but didn’t have chance to reply. Shame your not doing VLM, but as you say you’ve not been able to do the training. Glad to hear from you and assume that you and family are settling in nicely - “Put another shrimp on the Barbie”. My heart bleeds about running in that heat lol.
As I lay awake at about 0530 listening to the howling wind and rain did I think of running in a warmer climate, oh no!
As I stood outside at about 0600 in jacket, hat and gloves waiting for Garmin to get a signal, did I think of running in a warmer climate, oh no!
As the rain was hitting me so hard in the face at one point it felt like hail, did I think of running in a warmer climate, oh no!
As you can tell I’m not jealous lol. 
Anyway, I managed to JFDI and ran to one of England’s most famous landmarks here, only 4.01 hilly miles at a sluggish 8:13 pace, and I was like a drowned rat when I got back pmsl.
Good to hear from you too Pinks. Well done on the 4hrs at Brighton, just got to shave off 6 seconds next time lol. However, as you say considering where you started you have every right to be chuffed! 
Dave – my number is 4416. Have a good race!
If anyone is likely to be around at Expo on Sat, send me your no by RW Mail and I’ll endeavour to catch up with you. I have Gatton’s no and am certain to pop in and see him. We should be there early/mid afternoon.
Be good y’all!
