Blogging again

After a winter break from the blog, it's time to step up the blogs. Winter training can seem a bit of a slog, but can be great fun. The coldest winter for 30 years also made for some memorable runs. This included running round the parks of London when all the lakes were frozen. The serpentine was impressive, especially with a small window of ice roken to allow a pool for the birds to swim.

I have been finding many different routes around London. My favourite route being down from Moorgate to the River, along the Embankment to Big Ben, over Westminster bridge, then back along the South Bank to Tower Bridge. It passes lots of landmarks including the London Eye, The National Theatre, The Globe, the Oxo Tower, The Golden Hind, HMS Belfast and many more. Then its back past the Tower of London, past Monument and back to Moorgate. About 7.5 miles.

The number of runners on this route is always incredible, but about 70% wear ipods, so never say hi or even acknowledge you. Very boring (or am I just gettig old?).

Still just one month to the Jurassic Challange. That's 3 marathons in 3 days along the Dorset coast path from Lyme Regis to Poole. Looking forward to it!
