Week 6 Run 1

1 Reply

First run this evening in the dark as usually run in the mornings. I run round a park on the grass as more gentle on these old bones. I used my new head torch which was brilliant in all senses of the word! However I was so scared being in the park on my own at night, that I'm sure I ran quicker than normal and didn't even have a thought about how tired I was as I was too busy freaking out.

Lol... Oh how your post brings up some memories. 2 runs ago I went to my local playing field in the evening. It was still brightish when I started my 1st 10 minute run but by the time I was mid way through the 2nd 10 minute run, darkness was quickly approaching. And just like you, I think I went faster to get out of there as running on grass on a large wooded playing field in the night isn't nice.

Well done to you though.
