although i didn't get any pictures of his parents {camera shy}, here's a few highlights from Saturday. there wasn't a cloud in the sky all day i might add which is rare for london and made the day that much better.
we managed to catch a few minutes of a cricket game going on in the park. considering how hot it was, i'm surprised they were playing with their heavy clothes.
wandered around looking at all the trees in the park. i love trees & yes i occasionally do hug them {you should try it sometime}. this one is gorgeous & quick random fun fact ---some of the trees in greenwich park are older than america!
it was such a beautiful day. although you can see the pollution over the city---the sky was still blue, people were out with their families & it was glorious.
mildred
on the way home, we of course had to visit our pet ducks george & mildred at brookmill park. all george could do was feed his face on the bread that we gave to them {typical bloke eh?}---mildred though she decided to totally strike a pose & show off in the water. doesn't she look grand?
when we got home we raided the freezer for our skinny cow mint chocolate chip ice lollies/popsicles. a perfect end to the day!
sunday evening we were crazy enough to do a 10k run in the freezing pouring rain {thus no pics} for the nike human race 10k campaign held at wembley stadium.
i thought it was a great concept----25 cities across the world uniting for one day in the name of health & sports. it was more rock concert/race as there was pre race performances by moby & pendulum & there was great music around the course too including some coming from a swinging 60's double decker red bus. our time wasn't exactly the best we've ever done {we usually do 6 miles in an hour, hour/10} but it was wet & dark so i think that's a great excuse. although the race didn't start when we hoped cause of the concert, we were cold & didn't get home till nearly 11---it was a wonderful evening.
so that was my weekend in a nutshell. we're hoping for a bit more of a quiet weekend for the next couple of weeks, but i then remembered i've got a 5k race next weekend as well!

Wow, that was a full weekend! Good job on your run. It is always great to improve on your time. I haven't run further than 5 miles and I don't know why I am waiting to push myself further. Hopefully I can get myself moving more. The city is beautiful! I would love to come and visit in the summer sometime. I can dream.
I love the pictures. How often do you run races? Seems like it's pretty often. My wife just entered the "Princess Half Marathon" at Disneyworld...she told me she's going for a week in March, and I can come if I want! So yes, I'm going. I'm excited. Did you actually get to see Moby?
Yep, saw Moby for free if you can believe (well besides my $60 race entrance fee). The cool thing is we were right on the floor/pitch of the stadium--not in the stands.
