Just wish the clocks weren't going forward.

A strange thing to say perhaps. Out this morning just after 6 am for a 10K run. Beautiful sunny, crisp morning, watching the sun making its way up the sky.

First km was quite slow as my knees felt like eggshells - even though I prefaced my run with a brisk warm up walk - so was super careful until they had warmed up. Maybe some stretching or strength and flex on non-running days would help, but in truth, I expect my legs to take some time to adapt to running 10K 3 times a week, and to get stronger over time. So I don't mind the grumbly knees.

Getting out that at time makes social distancing pretty easy, but next week it will be pre-dawn!

I know what you mean about the clocks. I'm more of a GMT girl rather than a BST one. Think it's the one hour loss of sleep that don't like.

Pre dawn will be lovely if you go out just as the night begins to fade, stay well and run strong
