    The heat is now beyond bearing/ridiculous in Wandsworth.  I managed all of 2 miles before having to walk today.  The heat saps all my strength and makes me feel like throwing up.  Perhaps I should just throw up on the treadmill to prove a point.  They reckon they'll get the aircon fixed on Thursday so we'll see.  
I did manage to run some more after around 10 minutes of walking - I ran for 5 minutes @10.2 kph, walked for 3 minutes and then ran for 4 minutes @10.5kph.  I was out of breath at the end of each stretch but wasn't overheating.
The weekends lack of progress spurred me into buying a suunto T6 and a camelbak flashflo from adventureshop.co.uk.  Hoepfully I'll take delivery of these on Wednesday then I won't have to rely on the gym for running.  Question is - do I still pay for something I will hardly use?
