I was honored to run with Luke from Airedale Ave to the Thames River. Although, his father, Derek runs regularly, this would be Luke's first big run.
I enjoyed running along the narrow cobblestone streets, and along the river Thames, passing Pubs, tourists and double decker buses.
Luke running next to the Hammersmith Bridge
We crossed both Hammersmith Bridge to get to the southern part of London and then Barnes Bridge on the way back. It was a wonderful experience. Unlike anything I have witnessed back home.
All in all, we did a good 5 miles and we were looking forward to running another 5 again the day after next.
There were many runners, even many female running solo along the eastern bank. Many were running fast -- I could tell they were very serious. Perhaps they were training for the upcoming London Triathlon.
Now, I see why London is the most fittest city in Europe.
