Training Run 11 - 9 miles, 14.48 km, 1 hr 14'23''

A tough but enjoyable Saturday morning.  We ran together from Hyde Park, along Birdcage Walk to the Houses of Parliament, then round the corner to Victoria Tower Gardens, once round these and all the way back again.  On the way, while passing through Green Park, we ran in single file, taking it in turns to sprint to the front.  This wore me out considerably and I felt very tired on the run back.  I also forgot to bring an energy gel with me, which I really felt I needed by the time I reached the end.  I might have run quicker if I'd brought one with me, who knows?

Distance: 9 miles / 14.48km (roughly)
Time: 1 hour 14 minutes 23 seconds
Conditions:  Cold and damp, but not raining.  Slippery underfoot in places, especially in the park.  My legs ached considerably afterwards, I had an ice bath later in the day though and this seemed to help ease the aches and pains.
