PM - in London on a business trip - early evening run from my hotel in Canary Wharf - exploring and meandering around and found myself along the Thames and thinking that a long time ago I remembered having a taxi driver find a road with my surname and had him snap a photo; 20 years later on this run I think I may be in the general area of that road and when I looked up there it was - so I did a selfie.  Warm weather for London in the low 80's, nice and sunny - got in about 5.25 miles.  Here until Friday.

AM - 5 miles around the perimeter of the the Isle of Dogs as this peninsula of a jutting section of the meandering River Thames is known.   On the far end there was a footpath tunnel under the river to Greenwich and the ship Cutty Sark that is a part of the London Marathon course as I recall.  I did not have time to use the tunnel today, but thinking that I will figure out a run perhaps tomorrow or Friday that will take me over to that side of the river and up across Tower Bridge and return for a longer effort if time permits.  Day 1200 of my run streak was today.

AM - just short of 9.75 miles this morning from my hotel in Canary Wharf down to the tip of the peninsula and across the River Thames through a footpath tunnel built in 1904 and the from Greenwich up river to Tower Bridge and looped back to Canary Wharf.  Roughly a portion of the London Marathon course.   Pleasant sunny morning - although I felt a bit "off" since I was kind of constantly navigating the route and checking my phone from time to time so it was not conducive to zone out and just run.   Heading home tomorrow morning so I may only get a few miles in before I depart for the airport.  Glad to have gotten this one in today.

AM - 5 miles with Dan and the dogs on the trail.   Easy effort - good to catch up with us both being away on business the last several days.
