Went out just before 7am yesterday and did a 7k! My goal was just to do 6k but I was so far from home when I got to 6k I just kept going.
Really wasn't bothered about speed (avg km pace was 6:29)... in fact I was more concerned with running past as many of Stratford's landmarks as possible - I think I managed about 7.
Also saw the weirdest cloud formation ever - it might have been steam from a chimney possibly. It was a wavy column with an almost perfect spiral directly on top of it, bit like a Mr Whippy ice cream. I looked up a couple of minutes later and the wind had taken it.
I absolutely love early morning runs on the weekend as there's hardly any traffic about and it really feels like you've beaten the rest of the world to the day.

Well done! Don't go overdoing it and ending up on the IC though!
Beautiful description of the early morning feel- but oh my gosh 'not bothered about the speed'... I would be delighted with 6:29 average, My last run was 6:42 average and PB is 6:32... so you're achieving a fantastic 'cruising' speed there 😀 Your cloud formation description reminds me of the bubble blowing act which is part of La Soirée at the Speigeltent- quite the most astonishing thing- and the whole evening is the best way to have fun sitting down 😀
Sorry, about the pace comment. I knew as I was running it just didn't feel as difficult as other runs because my mind was on other things most of the time.
