Thanks to my lovely family gifting me some wonderful running gear for Christmas, I am now able to run in the dark π. I had a close shave with a car a few weeks ago as I returned a little later than planned from an afternoon run. I was wearing a flourescent jacket, but that didn't seem to make much difference to the car heading towards me a little too close for comfort.
Well tonight I headed out lit up like a Christmas Tree π, wearing the headtorch that my son had given me and the body harness lights from my sister (white torch at the front, red on the back). I also had my flourescent jacket on, so I felt comfortable this time that everyone would see me coming! My husband ran alongside me without lights, happily confident that I was doing enough illuminating for the both of us π¦π.
It was just a 3k, my second run after injury, but I felt able to pick up my pace a little this timewhich felt good.
