I had to be in London this week for work and decided to stay for the weekend. Which meant that I had to do my long run here. What a hardship! It was in the low 60s and cloudless Saturday morning. I ran from my AirBnb to Hyde Park, then just zig zagged around the park until my app told me I'd run 10 miles. I took it easy and took pictures along the way and took the tube back.
I spent 6 months living a few blocks from the park when I was 20. I wasn't a runner then, but I spent a lot of time walking and lounging in the park. And my favorite spot was near the Henry Moore sculpture in the photo above. The last time I went looking for it I couldn't find it, some research told me that it was taken down for many many years, and only re-installed in the last few years. So I wasn't losing my mind! It was nice to see it again.
I ended up walking another 7 miles after my run yesterday and 7 more today. My legs and foot/ankle actually feel pretty good. I'm going to try to get a short run in tomorrow before getting on a plane for the day.
