By Thursday I was feeling much better recovered, and looking forward to my evening run. I waited until just before 6pm before heading out, just to let the temperature drop a little. It was still pretty warm, but there was some relief from a light shower two or three miles in. I enjoyed my 7½ miles through various parks and recreation grounds, but was rather slower than it felt! At one point early on I felt sure I was exceeding my intended 8:20-ish, but when I checked my watch I was actually running a disappointing 8:30 but I felt like I was doing 7:30!
Over the course of the run I managed to average just a touch faster than my target at 8:13.
I've been in touch with Tim again, and we plan to run Bristol HM together to launch a foundation in Matthew's name - watch this space!
