Having not run for a week, and having been to a wedding the weekend before, I really felt this run in my legs. I did the usual Monday evening seven-miler along the South Bank, around Battersea Park and back again. It had been a cold, clear afternoon and the evening was dry, with lots of people out and about along the South Bank and in the park. I ran by myself this evening, taking the chance to get back into my running rhythm. It was very pleasant running through the park, although now that it is fully dark in the evening it makes some of the unlit paths quite difficult to traverse safely. The number of people running without any reflective gear on was quite concerning - with lots of people running in all directions, nobody wants to collide with anyone else.
Although this felt like a difficult run, I felt better in myself as time went on (though today my legs ache more than they usually would do after such a run). I want to get a pacing watch of some kind so that I can check my splits for miles/kms and get a better idea of keeping my own pace than I currently have. All of this will help me to improve going forward, especially if I decide to run a marathon later this year.
