My knee was hurting in the way it does when it senses I intend to do exercise and my body feels compelled to try and discourage me from doing so. Which meant I wound up doing 10km on the road last night and 1km in the pool this morning. Neither seems to have made it particularly better or worse so I think my body needs me to call its bluff. It turns out the 4th bridge up the Thames is for the Tube and can't be crossed so I had to turn back there. Time to start exploring downstream past the Houses of Parliament as well. Being near the river is providing a nice backdrop as the sun goes down and does a great job in sucking some of the pollution out of the air.
I think I'll bring a camera next week and get some shots around sunset. Especially as the walk goes quite near to Battersea Power Station as well and that must be awesome with good lighting. Not sure how close to it I can get on the South Bank as I haven't explored that bit of the river yet. It's reminding me of the days of living out of hotels back at Netscape and going for a walk to explore the local neighborhood in the evenings. Thought, obviously minus the drinking, inappropriate corporate anthems and wooden bears.
