16 Miles In The Rain and Snow


Well, I did it. I ran 16 miles, which is further than anyone called Johnny Dee has ever run. Probably. Highlight of this delightful jaunt through the parks of North London was a sighting of a green parrot on Hampstead Heath. Urban legend is that the London parrots are the descendants of some birds that used to belong to Jimi Hendrix that were set free after his death. About five minutes after spotting one, up near the ponds All Along The Watchtower came on my ipod.
