Funnily enough, today was much like my last post - went running in the park, lay in the sun for a bit. However, this weekend has been the first weekend since the previous post that was actually sunny. It's been pretty much raining most days since then.

I've decided I've kind of got a new philosophy, not that I had an old philosophy, and I won't hold on to this one either, so perhaps I'll call it my 'thought for the day' instead : Life can't be that bad if one is able to spend an afternoon sitting in the sun in the park doing nothing, and worrying about nothing. As long as one is able to do that, one shouldn't really complain.

Yesterday was the Tour de France Prologue, in London. The Prologue was/is (as the name suggests) the initial racing that isn't really racing. The course was a 7.9 Kms time trial looping Hyde Park and St. James Park. The winning time was something about 9 minutes. Being a time trial, the riders went individually, staggered over 3-4 hours. I don't think time trials are the most exciting 'races' to watch, even though it means you've got riders coming around the same spot every minute, when normally they'd only go past once.
Today was the first proper stage - 200 Kms from London to Canterbury.
