13 - thanks to Eccles cake and Lancashire cheese

13M pm crescendo run untimed (but pretty hard)

For most of the day it seemed like I wasn't going to go for a run. But my hangover wasn't as bad as it might have been... and I was well fuelled by last night's MIGHTY fine pudding of Eccles cake and Lancashire cheese (try it before you die, I don't think I've ever had a better pudding).

By the time I got to it, my legs were feeling cracking. Good news ahead of next week's half marathon.

Last night's half drunken conversations included a fair bit about running. They were useful in bringing my next year's running plans into focus and realising how much I'm already looking forward to getting to the start line in London in April and murdering 26.2 miles.
