From Peckham to Tower Bridge and back

Longest run ever
Originally uploaded by Manne.

Woke up this morning and realized I haven't been running on South Bank since I moved away from Elephant & Castle. That and the fact that C was about 20 km ahead of me in our Nike+iPod challenge made me think that I should try to run up to London Bridge, my old run along South Bank and then back home to Peckham.

I was a bit nervous about my shins, since they have started acting up a bit again, but warmed up well and stopped a few times along the way to stretch. Felt remarkably good.

Turned out to be 15 kilometers from start in Peckham to Finish in Peckham. Nice.

Our flat now has a water feature

Our flat now has a water feature
Originally uploaded by Manne.

Dont know what you would call it but I think someone just screwed up big time. I just heard all the water in our pipes gush out, and as I look out the front we now have a moat. How very last century.

UPDATE: Six hours later it was "fixed". Quite interesting to see how they guy from Thames Water actually got latex rubber gloves on before he started fixing the broken pipe in the street. Wonder why, it certainly wasn't to keep the incoming water clean since it is now a muddy brown in the tap and full of sand...
