W9R1 - too long...

[KS69]

Adjusted my route this morning as had bit of extra time anyway being the weekend and running in daylight which is a novelty..

First 15 minutes were all uphill struggled, stitch creeping in, had couple of short breaks to bend over and try and get rid of the stitch.. but by time I got to the 30 minutes I felt ok and kept going a little longer to make up. Felt like I was out for AGES though so not sure I will do that before work this week. Think I may stick to my normal run days and bit shorter route before work but do an extra run next weekend for graduation when I've got longer to spend on it..

Running in daylight is a novelty? I've had it easy, all my runs have been in daylight. Respect! Good luck with your graduation runs.

Yep I usually get up around 6am and go out in the dark! I kind of like running anonymously in the semi sunrise time though.. but always feel in a rush before work.

Would never run in the dark too much of a scaredy cat! Besides, where we live we can't even see any streetlights, so it is pitch black! My hubby is always telling me there's nothing to be afraid of in the dark, but my retort is 'how do you know, you can't see whether anything is there or not'!!!

Look at you, running for longer than necessary, that's brill, and just shows how much more you're capable of. Yes, don't rush it now just because the end is in sight, you'll still get there by the end of next week. EEEEEEEEEhhhhhhhh go you !...xx

It feels ok around here, with the rush hour traffic, bus routes and dense housing it's busy even at that time!!

One more week!!!!

Well done for getting through it. I prefer the early morning runs too, when I get a chance. Mind you it will soon be daylight at 6am too Good luck for graduation, we're almost there x

I'm looking forward to running in summer, will def be out really early then, can't wait! It's really noticeable how quick the dark mornings have changed even over these 9 weeks.

Got to graduate first though I guess before I think of the summer...
