Got the whole energy gel thing cracked - need to take them early - so felt good all the way. Slight out of body experience at the end but all fine.
A great run. Felt like the first day of spring with the sun out and bulbs blooming and everyone out for walks. Took a couple of interesting detours - discovered excellent view from Dartmouth Park - a really shabby and very small park but amazing views to the east over North London. Took long route round Hampstead Heath and ended up in Hampstead Garden Suburb where I got drawn into taking a look at the extraordinary St Jude On The Hill church. A real architectural marvel. Hampstead Garden Suburb's a real idyll - a wonderful idea for the perfect surburbia "for all" that seems - from the outside at least - to be an oddly stilted paradise totally occupied by the upper middle classes and not very "for all" whatsoever. Very interesting to run through but much more life and fun to be had elsewhere.
