Wearing sunglasses in the dark 😎

I missed yesterday morning as really needed the sleep so spur of the moment decided to run last night, first time ever in the evening. I asked my husband to stand by incase i needed a lift home as my route took me a fair way from home and stuck my sunglasses on as sun was bright and low. My planned road was closed to car scuppered my lift idea so took another route! Only went and ran 6.4km!!! The final road i ran before I could be safely picked up was so long and empty but lovely. Longest and furthest run and my pace while still glacial is up a wee bit. Bonus was sat out at home after in the dim and saw the 2 🦔 that have been visiting 😁 the cat well miffed at sharing his food. I was glad I didn’t miss a day and got my run in. I thought i was cool anyway wending my way along in my sunglasses in the gloom at least I could see!

I love running later in the day and quite enjoy my 'dark' runs in the winter months too! Well done on your run - it sounds great!

I am interested to see how the seasons change my runs.

More layers and a good head torch or chest light! I have a Decathalon chest light. - love popping that on and running in the dark!

I will definitely need a torch it was so nice as the light changed last night.

Well done on getting out at that late hour. I’m a morning runner and haven’t braved that yet! I’ve never run after eating. Good distance too.

I had a curry an hour or so before, there may have been some jet propulsion but not indigestion 😳

Fantastic CaptFrey! Extra kudos for running in the evening (I only do mornings!) AND after eating a curry! I love curries but I couldn’t run 0.4k after one, let alone 6.4k. Well done! 👏👏👏

I didn’t want to miss my day of a run and the thought of just sitting in front of the tele spurred me into the out 🤗

Great new long evening run for you, well done. How lovely to then watch the hedgehogs in the garden - great end to the week. Happy running 🤗

Well done you, you’re braver than me, as it can be unnerving running in the dark. My winter mornings are like that but I can’t run after eating (made that mistake once) so I have no choice 😂
