5 minute run, 3 minute walk, 5 minute run, 3 minute walk, 5 minute run
24 April
Another overnight in London, and this time I did get out onto those mean streets. Staying at St Paul's so I've been able to run across the millennium bridge and back and forth on the south bank. It was fine, there were other runners but none made me feel like an idiot, which I was vaguely worried about. I did go out early (6 o clock) so there weren't many people around. All in all a success.
Not to be cliched, but people down here are less friendly than up North. Runners in the North are friendly, although not as friendly as walkers, perhaps 50% will say hello as you pass. Much the same as caravaners not being as friendly as campers. There might be something interesting in there somewhere.
I also ran without my ipod for the first time - not deliberately - which was actually quite nice. A bit more space for thinking, and when I felt my pace slacken I could dig out one of my tunes in my head to keep my cadence going.
