Had a really great run tonight, and it was the first time I'd ventured out in London on my lonesome.

Staying in a Travelodge really gives you the impetus to get out; staying at Covent Garden meant it was fairly easy to get down to the Thames.
Having crossed Waterloo Bridge, I made a left and ran past the Royal National Theatre. Having past the Tate Modern and run over London Bridge, I made the decision to head over to the Tower of London for a quick photo opportunity (which I texted to Sarah so that she knew I was ok).

From there I made my way back to the hotel - not really knowing where I was/where I was going. Thankfully there are some wonderful maps dotted along the way which gave me just enough information (plus staying close to the Thames helps).

At the Strand, I took a turn too early and ended up running through Covent Garden market - but in the end it was a nice way to finish the run - getting back to the hotel around 9 for a hard-earned sandwich.
