If you are a runner and haven't read Born to Run, you should. It's well written and will make you want to head out the door and onto your nearest trail (it also got me to think about converting from my Vibram Five Fingers to completely barefoot, but that's for another day).
The WSJ has an article today looking at the growing trail running phenomenon, though their quantitative proof leaves something to be desired (12% growth v. 11%??? It's a trend!!).

London Can Be a Cool Place to Run
To interrupt my marathon session of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on my brand new (to me at least) Playstation 3, I threw on my Vibram FiveFingers and went on an aimless run. Ended up running for an hour.
In that brief period I was able to run through: Hyde Park, Kensington Palace & Gardens, Buckingham Palace, Green Park, The Wellington Arch, Horse Guards Parade Grounds and around St. James Park. I was about 100 yards from Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. All in the span of an hour, on foot.
In Dallas I would have seen... Highland Park and the Katy Trail. Check it out:

Kind of cool that in mid-August I can run for an hour at 4pm and not have any heat issues here as its only about 70 degrees outside.
