16th February 2014, Battersea Park, Chelsea, London
Say what you want about Victoria Park, but it would be nice running through a park that doesn't smell like pot for once.
Battersea Park is supposedly the best spot for a run in London. And whilst having the afternoon devoted to Chelsea anyway I figured I might as well finally make it to there for a run where the posh people live.
Now, spending an hour on the tube on a Sunday morning may not be what I'm normally that keen on - again due to usually being massively hungover. But after a week of intense storms - that big yellow thing in the sky could make anyone motivated to leave bed before noon.
And I didn't regret my decision for a second. I do love a good run and the fact that I wasn't chased by pitbulls or crazy women who think they're John Lennon was definitely a big selling point.
There's something about running along the Thames that always makes me fall in love with London all over again for the millionth time. The only thing that really beats it is a cab ride in the middle of the night from West to East - that's when I really do realise how much I love this city!
So, apart from the gorgeous views - Battersea Park is amazing for people watching. Like the posh edition of people watching. Never have I seen so many Barbour jackets and pugs in Louis Vuitton bags in 10 k ever and it was actually quite a nice change from skinny jeans and skateboarders.
I will be back Battersea - you're lovely. Plus I love outrunning skinny rich girls.
