This is not the best day for Mrs Eek to be doing her first 5k run (around hilly Durham to make it worse)

I hope you have told her to stop immediately if she feels dizzy.

Also I hope you are meeting her at the end with plenty of cold water, some of which you will need to pour over her.

Clouds arrived and then departed again. Windy but still hot and sunny now.

WDBS. Looks like the last day of school trip to the pub park is a goer

I've seen a couple of cases of runners with heat exhaustion. It comes on suddenly and is very debilitating. The first one was a guy at the end of a lake district marathon. 2nd man, 1 mile from home, piled down a steep hill into the valley and carried on into a barbed wire fence - never got a sensible word out of him as I (and another passerby) carried him towards the finish. Ended up in the air ambulance.

Having said that, she ought to be ok for a 5k - good luck Mrs Eek

Its' not so bad the temperate is like Sunday when she happily did 6.3km with a few smaller hills built in.

I have told her but she won't listen... I also won't be there as I'm 150 miles to the SW of her in Lancashire. My mum and Dad are going to cheer her on though....

Flat is now 'for sale'

Least there are some sensible adults with her. I hope you have "reminded" one of them to take plenty of cold water even if they do end up helping another runner.

I'm off to do some exercise - but it's in doors. I'm going to "glow" so much it will be dripping on the floor.

Home!

The flat is absolutely sweltering

And although the lurgy, after a bad round of sneezing and mucus during the day, is improving, it's still enough to feel unpleasant

The car's "check engine" light came on shortly after setting off

I pulled into the "services" (such as they are) at the A1-A14 junction and Googled. It seems it may not be urgent, though then again it might. I checked, and the oil was quite low, so I took a chance on whacking a bit more in - enough to bring it up to the bottom line on the dipstick.

It got me home OK, and seems to be running fine, but the light stayed on the whole way. I need to work out how to get it into the garage for a checkup within my current schedule. Maybe I should find somewhere down there, though if it can't be sorted out the same day, that leaves me in the remote reaches of Cambridgeshire. I may have to get the guided bus to Cambridge

I thought you have more than one car?
