Last 8 miles done pre marathon. I ran up to Finsbury Park along the Parkland Walk then over to Highgate, one lap around Highgate Woods, up to Muswell Hill, and onto Ally Pally. Honestly it was a pretty perfect run - time wise, nothing special. But the weather was that gorgeous early Spring warm sun we've so been lacking recently - which makes all the more special when it does come out. The sight of the sun filtering through the trees along a straight stretch of the Parkland Walk is so uplifting. On top of that is the luxury of running through the lovely Highgate Woods early morning plus feeling like I'm on top of the world in Ally Pally with London's skyline sprawling out in front of me, also bathing in the sunlight. Gorgeous.
