I write as I cool down from a really nice run in London. Sweat still beading on my brow. I'm staying at Westminster, and ran over the bridge and up to Buckingham Palace through St James Park, and then bumbled around Green Park a bit. I really like Green Park - slightly bumpy, lovely trees, open space. Smells of Outside, rather than of London. Surprising how much of a difference it makes, compared to my usual running along the river which is much better than along roads, but not great.
I've not written for a little while because I have a new check in mechanism with my garmin which gives me loads of interesting info to play with. Particularly on my mind at the moment is two goals I set recently - one to run 25 miles in a month from mid August, and then a tougher target of a mile a day during September. I'm paying attention to these, I think in part because they're being genuinely tracked through my device. The mile a day is interesting because I try to run 2-3 times a week and usually intend to do 5k (3 miles). If I achieve this I'm doing about a mile a day.
My first target is nearly there - if I do 2 miles tomorrow or the next day I'll be fine. I've fallen behind on the September target though so will be doing a lot more running this week while I'm in London. So I'm very pleased that I enjoyed today so much!
