I’m still plodding on, clocking up a few miles here and there. On Saturday I headed out to Richmond Park and now that winter has really set in it was really quiet – almost nobody but me and the hundreds of deer roaming around.

I really enjoyed my run on Saturday. Maybe it was because I’ve been trying to fit short runs into a working day recently and running has become more of a chore than a pleasure. Maybe it’s because I’m not training to a plan at the moment and can do what I want, when I want. Either way it was nice to rediscover the enjoyment you can get from running and not have anything hurting or aching for once.

Marathon training starts Monday 14 December for me so running and posting will greatly increase as of then.
