Training Run 21 - 58'32''

This was, in all likelihood, my last training run of 2014.  I'm going to re-start the counter from 1 in 2015.  I'm still aiming to run the Surrey half-marathon in March, and this run was very encouraging preparation for that. I ran with Andy, one of the Frontrunners, who ran slower than he usually would but who also coached me along the route (hence doing it almost two minutes faster than my previous PB).  Having someone run with me always encourages me and helps me to keep going, and also pushes me to run faster.  Although I started to lose him a bit towards the end, he always waited for me, and really encouraged me at the end when I felt tired.  I know that I can nail 13.1 miles next year!

Distance: 7ish miles, not sure exactly
Time: 58 minutes 32 seconds
Description: along the South Bank, 1 lap of Battersea Park and back again

I'm also hoping to start using this blog to write about Booker winners again.  I've finally finished Iris Murdoch's The Sea, The Sea, which was challenging (more about that next year though!).
