Day 55 - Sat 25th Feb - London Rocks on Long run

15 miles; 2 hours 08 mins, London run; weekly mileage 33.5miles

Oh my f**** god. Or (OMFG) what a storming run. Felt great, well for 10 miles anyway, and a beautiful route to boot, Sunny morning early doors and London never looked better. Made me realise how utterly top class this City is

woke early and decided to go long today whilst i still had the buzz of massive ice cream imjection last night.

Strapped on the lycra and out i went. Ran strong, felt good, steady but strong. Really enjoyed it. Early out so London was quiet save for lots of other runners.

Here was my route. Chelsea FC, Kings Road, Embankment, Thames, Albert Bridgr (the Dominc Cork of London Bridges - showpony) Batersea Power station, House of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, London Eye, Tesco express and Sainsburys. How do you like them apples?

London iconic landmarks all in one run. truly awesome, lots of space amd a sense of London being amazing (apart form poverty, financial divide, massive expense, busyness, crime, ripped off, smells of piss) - It is amazing city.

Felt good up to 10 miles and then faded. I learnt some valuable lessons today;

1 - eat more pre long run
2 - eat every hour to maintain energy
3 - stretch more
4 - wear shades in sun so you can perve on women in tight lycra leggins

I shall do that next week

Sat back and relaxed rest of day. AA meeing, friend for lunch, gym, Wales beating England and then laze on sofa in evening.

May not be the most exciting day or weekend but i'm just happy to be back peoples. Now you really won't get away form me that easily.

I'm back, yet i've never been away
