I’m off oop North this weekend to visit Rach so my weekend long run is looking unlikely again, in fact it’s worse than unlikely – it’s just not going to happen, I’m packing my bag now and the trainers and garmin have not made their way in.
Today I was working in central London so decided to squeeze in yet another mid-week long run. I was aiming for an intermediate length run, a light 10k dash across town but my internal GPS system went awry and it took me more than 13k to reach home. Good run though, you’ve got to love London, it’s full of inspiring routes. Tuesdays run took me along the Grand Union Canal, the Thames, Kew Park and then past Virginia Woolf’s house in Richmond, today’s jaunt started in Regents Park, through Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens past Radcliffe Hall’s house, through Holland Park and then back onto the Thames.
I suffered some weird magnetic interference in Kensington gardens and then again as I left Holland Park, and had to ring Shakti to see if she could guess where the hell I was and direct me out of the aberration known as Shepherds Bush.

Damn – you haven’t bought your trainers!!! lol Not to worry – you can do 10k on the cross trainer while I cook the full english breakfast
“you’ve got to love London, it’s full of inspiring routes”… And here I’m expecting a list of inspiring sites like naked buttocks, vomiting teenagers, drunken hobos pissing on trees, etc. Instead you follow the statement with parks and rivers. Really, what HAVE you done with the REAL warrior woman?
Crickey, from what Speed Racer is posting it sounds like your normal run is through Whitechappel circa 1888, only thing missing is some creepy guy named Jack. The route you took on the lastest sounds lovely, except for GPS kicking out on you.

I hope you manage to make it back down South again. After a title like that, hearing that you’re off up North is a bit worrying!
