and no, not the car!
A quick dash over to London for the evening on Sat this weekend so we could go to St Pauls Cathedral, Momument and Pudding Lane and do some careful research on the Great Fire of London! No. 1 son studying history on this topic at the mo, so we thought it would be ace to actually go see some stuff for from 1666 for real rather than just read about it.
Swimming lessons galore on Sat morning followed by a birthday party each meant that my run had to wait until we got the Grandparent's house in St. Pauls Cray... hand kids over on arrival and stick running shoes on... everything I hate about running - no open views, just horrid house after house with a shopping centre thrown in... to break the monotony and live on the edge a little I reversed the loop this evening (Sunday) just to keep it fresh - that's how we roll in the 'burbs.... blurgh!
London was fun - was really looking forward to seeing St Pauls' for the first time - bloody thing was closed to visitors; they wanted to hold religious services since it was Sunday - the cheek of it! ENjoyed hauling up Monument though - Ollie accurately counted all 311 steps to the top!

Ben Day 23 - Garmin
just seen - again, purposely didn't look at watch when running these two days - same route, clockwise one day, anti-clock the other - once again amazed at how consistent my pace is - 5k each day, 2 seconds difference... I still find it funny..
