Not by choice.

Taking advantage of the light nights, I set out at 7pm for a 5/6K run. All was going well, felt really good and I even captured the setting sun in a field on my phone!

However upon returning to my door as the darkness set in I realised I had lost my key... must have been when I took out my phone for the picture... Off I go again - now in the dark - back to the field with my phone torch to try and find my key. Couldn't find it but luckily I has a spare with my neighbour. So the 5K turned into an 8K and in fact I am heading back to look again this afternoon - so it will end up an 11K!

You have to smile!
