Lazy Jones checking in ๐Ÿ˜€ first run today since the first week in December ๐Ÿฅด. I volunteered to walk my friends dog every day for three weeks whilst she was away so I did at least get an hour of power walking in every day and I can now poop scoop with out gagging .

So out today and managed 5K, last K was hard but a reasonable 34 mins... dog walking kept me fit.

Iโ€™ve realised that I just canโ€™t run in the dark I hate it.. roll on the clocks changing .

Congratulations on that good time for running a 5K, most of my 5K times have been around that time, I agree that running in the dark isn't a good idea, roll on the brighter evening's.

I like the cold but once it gets dark I just want a cave and a box set !

That is pretty gross but at least on a cold morning there is the bonus of a picking up a little hand warmer. Just keep it wrapped up and youโ€™d never know. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Canny time!

Well done

I hate the dark and too much mud - you can sling pretty much else at me and I'll still go out there ... except of course bags full of dog poo ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Well done for keeping at it! Your finely honed poop skills will stand you in good stead for some of the parkruns :P

I'm totally with you on the whole running in the dark thing. Most of my running routes are through fields or along the canal, no lights, and I get rather nervous if I can't see, Don't want to fall in the canal, don't want to get attacked, would really like to be able to see what I'm about to trip over!!!!

Really well done for persevering!

It was good to be out again must have been inspired by the running socks I got for Christmas ...

Ooh, nice! No-one got me running socks though ;(

Yes, roll on longer days! I agree. If you can keep your fitness up during the winter you'll be ready for summer running.

With the bright intensity of modern LED lights,you can have the sun in your pocket. Obviously not much use in your pocket so get a headtorch and / or a chest light and away you go! ๐Ÿ˜ธ
