It's hard to know how far to run the week before a race. It's a week till the Mince Pie Ten Mile, so about two-thirds of the distance seemed about right, though I went out with no clear idea of how far I was going to go; it seemed important to include some hills, as the Mince Pie Ten Mile has a fierce one at the six mile point. I ran up Seaford Head by way of the golf course, then along the top of the cliffs, down to Splash Point and along the front to the sailing club and back. It wasn't particularly cold, so I wore a top, but no gloves.
Time: 1:11:32
