AM - 16.5 miles in Virginia Beach.  Came here yesterday to stay with my brother-in-law for a few days.  He lives about 10 minutes or so from the Ocean by car, but the roads to get there are a little dangerous for running; so I found a lake in a nearby subdivision with a running / walking path around it and did laps.  Each loop was between 1.5 and 1.75 miles.   Flat and humid, but a good run.

No running - as I am being careful to rest / recover from workouts and long runs.

AM - 3.5 miles with Finn - very easy before work - and travel late this evening to the UK.

PM - lunchtime treadmill workout.  Cruise intervals 5 x 2000 at tempo with a 1 min rest.  Felt strong at the beginning of this workout - as I have been sort of resting and not running too intensely due to the somewhat fickle left foot pain/injury.  Good workout.

AM - 15.25 miles in London.  From my hotel around Hyde Park, in front of Buckingham Palace, down the Mall, across Westminster Bridge (Big Ben in scaffolds) along the River Thames, across Tower Bridge and back around.   Really nice weather beautiful day before grabbing breakfast and heading to the airport for home.
