running 1:06:00 [3] 13.8 km (4:47 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom fly knit grey #2

Really nice morning for a run. Went west along the south embankment to Battersea Park and then back on the north side. Added an extra bit to the end to push the time out to 66 minutes.
Weird sight for the day was the man in a white suit, shirt and tie wearing a walrus mask (complete with tusks) being filmed walking along the street.

To tower bridge and back, with a couple of extensions. Took a water bottle for the first time this year, and felt better for being able to have a drink. Not too many bubblers around, and not sure I would want to use them even if they were available.

Figure 8 Serpentine and then home through Mayfair.

The response, from both the public and the press, to the new UK plan has been universally damming. But at least the parodies of the new slogan are amusing, and then there was the press conference. The chief scientific adviser and the chief medical officer did their best to help Boris out, but there were times at which they were noticeably cringing at his statements. Then a statement today took the prize, when Boris mistakenly said that COVID was in the water supply. That sent the press teams scrambling to issue corrections. Is he getting his info from Donald?

Monday May 11, 2020 #

running 37:00 [3] 7.6 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Nike zoom fly 3

Around BP and Green Park.

Exercise session 25:00 [3]

Pyramid session

Watched the PM's speech last night and was underwhelmed by the performance and the lack of content and clarity. Some one needs to tell him that a new slogan is not a substitute for a properly thought out and presented plan.

Sunday May 10, 2020 #

running 1:12:40 [3] 15.0 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Nike Zoom fly knit grey #2

Along embankment, heading west. Pushed into new territory, extending past Prince Albert bridge for the first time. Then back on the other side through Battersea park.
The press is reporting that the UK government is going to replace its current slogan “stay at home, save lives, protect the NHS”, with a new one; “be aware, save lives.” I would have gone with “stay aware, stay alive”. No sign of any proper policy though, but who needs good policy when you have snappy slogans.

BP/Green Park loop

Exercise session 25:00 [3]

Note

Noticed a camera man on the climb up Primrose Hill yesterday, but didn't take too much notice. Turns out he was filming for the news, with the footage making it as far afield as Australia. A friend from Melbourne sent the clip overnight.
