But Added 16.2km over the weekend

Two and a half parks

From the Cadogan to St james', Green and Hyde Park (Serpentine only). 8.28km in 45'5", of which 1 minute was stationary (traffic light etc).

Average moving speed: 5'20"/km

Slightly ruined by rolling over my ankle at Knightsbridge on the way back. But not too serious

Hilly Hampstead Heath

A longer slower run on Hampstead Heath. Certainly slower - 6.77 km at 6'36/km including some walking.

Fabulous day/evening though. Cherry blossoms, flowers, the works.

Now for a layoff until Saturday's Braemar 10km

Three parks

8.42km at 5'34"/km in two runs around three of London's great parks: St James', Green and (some of) Hyde Park.

Beautiful morning, with the sun rising, mist on the Serpentine, Buckingham Palace etc etc
