If you look very very carefully, you can just make me out at the back of a selection of Diabetes UK runners, in the yellow top under the vest. The man at the front is Joe Pasquale.
Sunday was a nice little run around Regents Park with other Diabetes UK runners. And don't be led into thinking that it was warm with all that bare flesh on show -- there was a chill old wind blowing and Mr Pasquale's jacket was removed only moments before this shot!
Keen to stay on grass but too late in the day to get into the park, my Monday run was a couple of circuits around Blackheath common.... in the dark. I ran for about an hour, doing longer intervals of around ten-fifteen minutes running, then 30 seconds walk. Still very satisfying. It was strange to see the heath so full of runners in the dark. It was rather like turning over an old rotting log and seeing underneath everywhere teeming with life that isn't usually visible.
Tuesday was a rest day and some knee/hip exercises.
This morning I had a lovely run in Greenwich Park, again sticking to the grass, watching the sun come up... An hour's worth of longer intervals, including some hill work and a 15 minute circuit at a reasonably fast pace. It sets you up just right for the cycle into work! And I have a new favourite ipod track: Alex Gaudino Feat and Crystal Waters' Destination Calabria that I have been singing all day. Knees feel ok -- a bit noisey and some pain at certain points, but fine for running.
