W9 R1 @ 4am. Mimicking a Cheshire Cat who's pretending to be a frog.

What a lovely way to start my final weeks runs.

Flat calm & just above freezing. I couldn't have wished for better weather.

I did as Laura said, and started the run. The street lights were sparkling and twinkling on the frost covered cars. Clouds of exhaled air were around me and I had the hugest grin plastered across my face.

Running across the causeway I felt wonderful. I turned towards the sailing academy and there wasn't even a breath of wind coming across the harbour. From there I headed towards Portland Castle, then it's uphill all the way home.

I reached the end of the 30 minutes, and felt that good that I continued running for another five mins whilst Laura congratulated and advised me about ongoing fitness and keeping up the running.

I'm already looking forward to 4am Friday W9 R2.

I hope that you all had a great run today.

Thanks Laura and all you bloggers this site is great.
