Ok, seriously people keep asking me for directions!

I have been asked for directions 4 times since I have been here. Funny thing is one person was looking for the Cock and Lion Pub which I will be living above so I knew where it was. Crazy! Today's long run turned into a very enjoyable running/sightseeing run through west london. I headed through Hyde Park by Kensignton Palace (not sure who lived there) and then by the Albert Memorial on the southside of the park. There were numerous weekend warrior rugby matches taking place on the football pitches very muddy. After exiting on the south east corner of the park I headed through the Australia war memorial and into Green park which is the home to Buckingham Palace and the Palace guards. On Sunday's they don't allow car traphic into the park so its nice to run on the road not dodging tourists. After leaving Green Park I headed north up regent street which turned out to be a running mistake because I could barely run because of the crowds. I ran through Piccadilly Circus which is the London equivilent to Time Square (small though) and then ducked off busy regent street through some really alleys with pubs and shops. I'll be back to check it out when not running for sure. From there I headed up to Regents park if your following along at home or on google maps Josh. I know you'll want to know the route! I ran the outer circle of Regent's park and then reveresed my way back the same way I came. It was a great run, no rain until after I had finished. Of course I waiting to crash but USA hockey tied it up so I'm hanging on for the finish.
