At last, 16 miles

I did it. I ran a 16 mile training run. It was a bit later than hoped, but now it's done I am confident of at least finishing in Edinburgh. I ran solid for 16 miles in my first marathon - London 2001 - and ever since have related that feat to being sufficiently fit to go the distance. Now to build on that foundation :-) Target: finish in under 4 hours. My PB is 4.01.

This is Battersea Power Station, on the bank of the River Thames. Built in the early 1930s it is now a defunct empty shell. Despite this, it is a listed building and revered London landmark. Seeing this marks the 6 mile point in my favourite long run route.
