It’s Spring It’s Blooming Flowers and Runners

Today was the first day of touring around London.  And I had the coolest thing happen. 

I found out yesterday that there is going to be a marathon on Sunday.  I’m sad that I won’t be here to see it.  The Gazelle was sad too.  He thought I should sign up and do the 5 km race.  But I won’t be able to.  I’ll be on aplane, heading back home to Canada.

But back to the coolness.  I took a group tour.  We went to Kensington Palace park and there were joggers there.  We went to Hyde Park, as expected there were runners there.    We went to the Parliament buildings, there were runners there.

We went to Buckingham Palace and there were runners there too!  How cool is that?  It reminded me of a similar phenomena at home

Around the Bay in the week before the race.  Runners out getting in that last long run before the big day.

What made it so cool for me was the fact that people seemed used to seeing people in the midst of tourist traps running.

I promised that I would post some pictures from my trip.  I tried to get pictures of runners around the tourist areas.

With any luck, someone will take a picture of me while I’m running near a tourist area too.  If not, I’ll still write about how amazing it is anyway and you can imagine how silly I look doing the 99 thump thing
