Again, was very busy with unpacking and settling in, but decided to get out for a run anyway, because I can be this busy every day for the next month. I wanted to do a long run, but being extremely tired and also at 8:30PM, I figured I should do about 10 miles if I want to get any sleep.
I tried a new route to Regents Park from the new apartment, and I think it's a good one. It's measured 0.75 mi. on Garmin, so I think I'll start around the corner to make it 0.8 in the future. I have to stop for 3 or 4 lights on the way, but it's not bad for central London, then I can just run inside the park or on the outside perimeter with only 2 lights in 2.75 mi. loop. I did 3 loops yesterday, and then ran back home. One stretch of the road is really dark, and another stretch goes inside the pedestrian path that has tall concrete walls on both sides, so it's a bit uncomfortable running in it at night, because it's so dark, but it's only for 50m or so.
Total time: 1:27:xx (have to check the watch to make sure).
