Road running 1:05:57 [3] 9.2 mi (7:10 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel DS Racers
Moderate paced moderate distance run with school friend Dan. Set out from his place in West Ham (near Abbey Road DLR) and initially headed up to the Green Way. I'd never knowingly been on this footpath along the former Beckton sweage pipeline and was keen to do a bit of East London exploration. Ran down to (now I realise not quite) the end of the path in Beckton (emerging near the A13 / A117 junction.
Whilst running out we'd spotted what I thought was Upton Park / West Ham FC so instead of simply retracing our steps we headed up into Upton Park / East Ham to find the stadium. Stadium found, we then managed to rejoin the Green Way at Barking Road before returning to Abbey Road. All in all a fairly satisfying bit of exploration and a nice start to a series of longer runs which I hope to do fairly regularly over the next few months. Thinking about maybe doing a West London stadiums tour at some point soon from Webley to Chelsea / Fulham.
