I have been trying to make the most of the English heatwave by getting out and about in it as much as I can. Have cycled the 8.5 miles (each way) to work and back a couple of times, up and down the hills of Hampstead and Highgate to try and get my heart pumping in the hot weather - and to see how much water I need to drink before, during and after. I know the intense heat of Haifa will be different from the heat in London, but every little helps!

We have our last training session before Israel tomorrow and have been asked to bring music to play - am still mulling that one over, but it should be a fun evening.
