Hogsmill River / New Malden. Far too muddy and boggy by the Hogsmill - must remember not to run here again in winter. So gave up and ran on the roads for the second half of this run.

Work to Hyde Park. For my last work lunchtime run before Christmas, thought I'd step up the long-run distance by a few km to do a metric marathon, with the pace gradually increasing in the first half before doing the second 13 km all at 3-hour marathon pace. A good hard session, the MP felt fine to start with, but had a few tougher patches where the pace dropped a bit but always managed to pull it back again with a bit of effort and finished very well. All looking good!
