Thames Barrier and incoming plane

At the weekend, Helen asked if I'd brought my running gear with me to Berlin - I hadn't, citing a previous holiday trip when she's vetoed me going running. Seems, this time, she would have tolerated me getting out for a run.

Any way, I didn't run in Berlin, but the day after our return was sunny with light winds so I decided to do a scheduled 2hrs run. Walked for 2min, ate gel (do you "eat" a gel?) at 11km, but otherwise just kept going.... And it turned into a half marathon!

Stopped at the Thames Barrier to take a snap, which includes an aircraft on its final approach to London City Airport.
