Monday: Wet solo run commute + workplace 5k for 7.75 miles complete.

We went to see Vance Pleasure (an Australian singer) at Wembley Area (not Wembley Stadium) after work, which was chill however good. It was a lot simpler getting residence after this gig than Taylor Swift! I used to be residence and in mattress proper round 10 pm.

Sadly, my iphone 12 died (there was a gap within the entrance display screen which allowed water to get into it) and I had to purchase a brand new cellphone; they’re dearer right here than within the U.S.! I want I may have waited to purchase it till the subsequent time we have been again within the states… After which after all, there’s all the trouble of setting every part up on the brand new one. Tedious! It felt like the entire week was coping with cellphone points. Its wild how a lot we depend on our telephones for thus many issues as of late!
Friday: 7.8 mile solo run earlier than work, Heartcore pilates after work.
Saturday: 20.5 mile run from Hampstead all the best way to Richmond (to the west, of Ted Lasso fame.) It was a pleasant group of Mornington Chasers, 8 of us to begin with 4 going the total 20.
It was enjoyable to do a completely new-to-me route, however that meant we had an extended prepare journey again to Hampstead. I used to be so able to be residence and in a heat bathe!
The route was principally alongside the Thames by way of Battersea to Wandsworth to Putney to Richmond, the place a big a part of the Thames path turns into a bridle path. Fairly muddy too! However there have been a number of crew groups out on the Thames, which was neat.
Sunday: 7 mile run with Ruth; Dustin was up earlier and out the door as he went to the Vikings/Jets (NFL) sport on the Tottenham Spurs stadium with some associates. American soccer in London!
