Sunny run!

With sunset occurring so early these days about the only time I get to run while it's light is on the weekends. It is a bright and gorgeous day outside (if a little windy). With that in mind, I laced up and went for a run on my new winter route. It was a pretty good run despite the fact that my running app spontaneously paused. Also, I felt as though I was struggling just a bit more than usual. I finished my 30 minutes and I'm feeling pretty relaxed and pleased with myself. I haven't been able ro push for more distance or speed lately due to a cranky IT band, but I'm not letting that stop me. I may go and treat myself to a new pair of running tights later. Woo hoo!

It is so lovely to run in the daylight. I'm lucky enough to fit in a run during my lunch break once a week but it is fab to have a longer run at the weekend.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A run at work wouldn't work for me, but in the meantime there's always the weekend. Also, the temperatures have been great for running!

Thank you Poppypug. It would be nice to be able to push myself again. I'm sure it will gradually get better!

Lovely view

I'm lucky as I get to run in the daytime most of the time - unless I've retreated to the gym due to the monsoon!

Understood. We'll have to see what happens when it starts snowing here. Blech! I may need to retreat as well.
