Hello VRB's - not posted for a while but i am still here!
Running has gone slightly amiss over the last couple of weeks...the dark mornings hit me hard and i have failed to get up and out. On the plus side i have maintained my long runs on Thursday nights and kept up 2 runs a week.
*21 Nov - 10k run with my new kit - fabulous! Gloves came off at 3k cos my hands were sweating!
*28 Nov - 8.5k run - the weather was much milder, a good run - not the fastest but i did it
*5 Dec - 10k run - wind was cold and strong in places. At least i escaped any rain. Gloves were off at 2k lol...i wonder what conditions have to be for hands not to get hot? Anyway it was a great run, i had to change my route slightly as the canal sections i normally run were so dark (park conservation) i had to put my phone torch on for a section of it!
I decided to change up my running music, inspired by the BBC drama I had started to listen to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, so put it on my phone and ran with it. Oh it was epic people! There are some very eerie moments when you are running in the dark but it was great, and my running rhythm was relaxed throughout.
Being a child of the 80's when the hurricane hit and took out the TV ariels my dad had this on vinyl, we spent three days listening to this, and the book that accompanied it set the imagination alive...so much so I vividly remembered it all when i started listening to it again. So that is now going to be my long run theme
The plan now is to get back into the swing of running - I need to get over the dark mornings - I've done it before i will do it again.
Happy running VRB's and good luck to anyone with an event this weekend x
If you made it all the way to the end...i thank you ๐
