A 23 mile run early this morning. Bloody freezing! a real WUFG day [woollen underpants frozen gajumbers aka brass monkey weather]. Happy that it was at around 4 hour marathon pace [was tempted to just do another 3 miles at the end].
Always useful to have some ‘silly’ adventures lined up when you have to run long, with no other purpose [and no company]. Today I decided to run around all the TFL transport hubs in Newham [overground, underground and DLR]. I had a quick look at a map last night but didn’t plan any route, so the run was a bit like orienteering [thinking the route on the run] as I didn’t want to have to cross my tracks, so had to rely on my remembered local knowledge. Only a couple of miles more than I had thought it would be. Good fun. Here are the pictures of each station; I even managed to include the so called ‘Air Line’ cable car and the Woolwich Ferry.
And 11 miles tonight for a 34 mile day including looking after the longer 10K Sweatshop run, at a pace not much slower than this morning [23 -2/2/7]; the / means a short break [under an hour] and the – means another session. A good day.

wow, that’s a big day. Love the theme 🙂
But did you see a womble at any point? After seeing the sign I’ve got the wombles theme tune in my head.
Sound like an interesting run. Awesome.
no wombles but lots of litter in places 🙂
