so i had a good time -- saw great and not-so-great buildings (i'm an architect so that is why we went there in the first place), had a lot of laughs (i'm lucky enough to have nice people as colleagues) and ate fantastic food (curries on brick lane, anyone?) but still my most favourite part of the whole thing had to be the mornings runs i managed to squeeze in.
the first morning i ran alongside the river thames and was granted with truly remarkable views on the iconic buildings by it, such as the parliament, big ben and tate modern. the second morning i headed to regent's park, a one i haven't even been to before, and enjoyed the almost total solitude in the vast grass fields. and then the third (and sadly last) morning brought me to hyde park, which is my absolute favourite place in the world to run in. i simply love that place, always have; and on that morning, even if i had the weight of the previous days' running combined with what was mildly put an excessive amount of walking on my legs, i hadn't felt that light in ages.
