The family went down to the south coast for a few days and it was nice to see some new places; dad and I ran along the sea front in town, around a point and over towards a marina, then back via an abandoned railway line. It was cold but nice, and though not quite 10 miles (despite dad's best efforts to get us lost and dead by taking us down the most break-your-leg worthy cliff trail I have ever seen) it was a decent length of run to finish the year on before restarting training proper. January is when I start the regimented run schedule. I was definitely off the pace by the end of it, but that just showed it was necessary. Felt reasonably comfortable so long as I kept to my own speeds; dad has managed to keep running all through December due to working in a city which seems too hot for snow and ice and was certainly the fitter over the distance. Some work required!
About 8.55-9 miles
About 01:17:00
Mood: determined.
