Can't believe how good I feel after that run, wish I could bottle that feeling and take it before the run!! Just have to keep going, love exercising early morning too, dreading the light mornings ending

Beautiful! I have used that phrase myself!

I bottle the feeling and keep it to take off the shelf on wet and cold days

Don't worry about the darker mornings.. I graduated the week before Christmas in 2015 and did all my runs early morning... it was amazing!! Plus..there are some great head torches and snazzy high Viz items out there... you end up looking like a small mobile Christmas tree!

Very well done you..keep it steady and slow and carry on Enjoy your day

Well done! You'll now also keep going to get that feeling again - it can be elusive! I prefer early morning too. You'll need to get yourself a head or chest torch (use the search box to find previous posts and recommendations) for the dark mornings, or equally dark evenings.

Thanks for tips but I have a fear of the dark so not sure a torch would help

I am also worried about running in winter. With my commute times I think about half the year will mean running in the dark or only at weekends. Not sure how safe I would feel on the small uneven paths in the woods and not looking forward to spending more time on the roads. I am sure we will find a way though.

Speaking of Christmas trees, I saw my first two! The first on my recent holiday up in Cleveland, in a shop. The next is here on my street. A real garden tree bedecked with snowflake fairy lights all lit up 😁

No don't mention Christmas I haven't had my summer holiday yet
