The boss asked me yesterday if i could start at 7 again this morning and i thought to myself woo hoo I will get home in daylight

So at 3pm off we went, it was hard and not fast i forgot my scarf and gloves but we did a steady 4k and as the sky started to glow as the sun set we decided to have a look on the beach

The photo really doesn’t do it justice so we walked a bit and ran around a bit then came home

Lovely photo as always, I was going to take one but quite dull and grey sky. Glad you got a day light run

Thanks GTB, oh me too i don’t think we’d have run in the dark, ive found if i plan it then Willow gets used to the idea and is ready and waiting so even if i can’t be bothered we still go and i feel great after

Well done willowandsola I’m not a fan of dark running much prefer the light. Glad you both got to enjoy it a little. Your pic is lovely 😊 even if you did have cold hands.

Another successful run in the bag. Well done! You really look like you have a gorgeous place to run. I grew up by the seaside but am now in the city so miss those lovely fresh sea views😀

South coast around 10 miles west of Brighton, i have another shot looking the other way and can just see the cliffs at Eastbourne, it’s a lovely place to be

Thought it looked familiar! I’m about four miles outside Eastbourne and tend to run mostly on the Cuckoo Trail. But my partner and I did a lot of training for the Beachy Head 10k on the downs/seafront. It’s a beautiful part of the country. I often feel so lucky to live here x

We feel lucky every day we can get to the beach in five minutes and the same for the downs, it’s early days running for us but i fancy the Beachy Head 10k next year I just haven’t told Willow yet

Yes, nice and bright today but treacherous under foot in shaded areas, so walked 4k instead..

A walk is foot, no frost here but a few leaves still on the ground

Thanks, yeah it was great and with my hours few and far between so through the winter we will mostly only run twice a week
