I ran in the afternoon, not something I usually do, but I hoped that the weather might improve. But it stayed windy and wet. I went along the front to Newhaven, up over Newhaven cliffs, where there ewer some very slippery patches. I went as far as Phyllis Avenue in Peacehaven, a little beyond the George V memorial, at which point the Forerunner said I'd done eight miles. As my target was 16 I turned round, but was a little disappointed to see a total of 15.89 when I got home; I don't wear my specs while running, so find it difficult to read the display as I go along, especially in the rain. But it will do, it's further than I've run for a while.
