Visit to Buckingham Palace

Following a lovely meal with friends last night, an early morning start saw me running through Hyde Park via Buckingham Palace taking in the sites; joggers, swimmers in the Serpentine, people practicing Tai Chi, a herd of elephants (plastic) etc.  Plenty to keep you interested although the run is flat which meant I had to run faster than normal to reach my target heart rate - I am more used to hills.    A week of juggling work with family and training.  Being away meant I missed my son's football team winning their league - the first team in their club in 42 years to win a major championship, what an achievement.  Hopefully tomorrow on his sister's birthday he can win the cup as well which will be a double celebration and the whole family will be there.  Fingers crossed.
