Run # 41
13.5k Road & River to Richmond from
Victoria
So I
finally bit the bullet and ran home for the first time this year. I did the
work-home runcommute a few times last year. (Never home-work though you
understand: never been quite that organised.)
The first runcommute I ever did was in response to the tube strike, which crippled the London transport system, as they tend to do.
And I'll be honest, at the time the 13 odd k felt a very long way and took a
fair bit of psyching up to. Given that my long runs rarely exceeded 10k that
wasn't very surprising.
What was
surprising now, and nicely so, was how short this route felt tonight, relative
to the chunkier distances I've been doing most Sundays. And nicer still was
leaving the office in the light - a fairly recent novelty that crept up on me
until I suddenly notice this Monday that I am both getting to, and leaving the
office in the light. Spring is indeed on it's way.
What this
meant was that I left in the light, and arrived in the night, dusk having been
and gone on the run. Knowing this would be the case, rather than rabbit on
about how the run was, I thought I'd let the pictures I took en route, tell
1000 words. Or maybe some anyway.
