Training in the UK
Earlier this month I took a business trip to Reading in England. Reading is a busy crowded town about 40 miles from London. One article I read claims Reading is Britain's town with the largest population. I stayed near the town centre and can confirm there were lots of people and lots of options for shopping and restaurants. I stayed 8 days in Reading and was able to swim, weight train, and run while there. Since the weather was perfect (no rain), my runs were all outside. The hotel I stayed in was called the Novotel. I think it is French owned and operated since all of the employees had French accents. They were really friendly and made me feel welcome and safe. The breakfast buffet was terrific and something I looked forward to each morning. The food options were plentiful and everything was fresh and delicious. I am a big fan of mushrooms and enjoyed some each morning along with other traditional breakfast items. No I didn't eat blood pudding this time!
