I have to keep telling myself that slow really does mean slow - and I almost trudge through the Soho streets as they merge into Mayfair and thence Hyde Park...... Hey ho - but I finish feeling good and the last slow 2 miles dodging around the Soho streets are a sweaty breeze.

Ah! Great to see central London figuring in running reports. Rob -- I'm sure you're aware of the famous "Serpies" running club -- http://www.serpentine.org.uk/. They are huge and have a lively social scene. If you think you may need motivation, particularly as the nights close in, and the deadly, clammy pea-soupers smother the city*, the Serpies could be one answer. They do a lot of different runs to cater for all levels / distances.
