I really enjoyed the run this morning, I kept it steady and it was raining lightly so all in all I felt pretty comfortable. I turned the usual Chiswick and Hammersmith Bridge loop into a figure of 8 run to bring up to exactly 10k.
I had been a bit worried about my knee which still seemed wobbly while I was putting on my shoes but it stood up well to the run. All the same I have taken Steve’s advice and ordered some Glucosamine to repair my cartilage. I’ve got Shakti some too but I can’t remember if she’s got any cartilage left to repair after her op.
This weeks totals show a big improvement, I actually made it to the gym a few times to do some interval training on the treadmill. I’m taking the training seriously because the Nike training runs start next week, it will be the first time I’ve run with a group.

I’ve prepared 8 route profiles to encourage me to step up the pace a bit with my running. All are based around the bridges across the Thames in West London, so they are both flat and beautiful runs.
I have a 3.5k route from Chiswick Bridge to Barnes Bridge, which is my usual morning run, a 4.6k trot from Chiswick Bridge to Kew Bridge, and a whopping 6.3k route from Barnes Bridge to Hammersmith Bridge and a few longer ones that I haven’t tried out yet. I haven’t managed the last one yet, but given that I have committed myself to the Nike 10k run in October, I had better start getting used to it.

I was supposed to be doing the London to Cambridge bike ride this morning. I got up at 6.30 ready to cycle the 25 miles across London to reach the start. Found I had a flippin p*n**ure so was late setting off, and then it started pissing it down and my motivation started flagging and then I got to High St Kensington and thought what the hell.
At least I didn’t turn back though, I carried on and came up with a new route - henceforth known as the 3 Park Challenge. Its about 44km or 27 miles and really quite a nice circular route.
