It's good to have the first week of training under my belt. I finished off with seven miles along Seaford front, from home to Splash Point and then to the tip of Newhaven East Pier and back. The front was busy with the Seaford passeggiata, which in December takes place from 3 to 4 pm, and I had the great pleasure of meeting the Loske-Page family (that's the Sussex Loske-Pages, of course) and also Jane, the gifted cook at the sailing club, and her dog Daisy who is a little averse to runners.
Today's run:
Time: 01:16:18
Distance: 7:17
Pace: 10:38
Total miles this week: 19.38
Weeks till the Brighton marathon: 15
In the morning I was supposed to be skipper of the safety boat for the final leg of the Iceberg race series at Piddinghoe pond. Racing was impossible, and the trophy went to Alan Simmons of Lancing SC, whose account of the series may be seen at: http://streakerramblings.blogspot.com/2010/12/freeman-iceberg-race-8-boxing-day-2010.html
