Tonight I have done W6R2 (successfully 😁) It was my first evening run as all of my runs up to now have been morning runs. Glad I tried it, but I won’t be trying it again until the evenings are lighter. Where I live there are only street lights for 250m in all directions and without sounding too stupid, I couldn’t believe just how dark it was!... I’ve run in the morning before it’s got light, but tonight was completely different. So as well as being a bit dangerous, I discovered that looking at stuff really does help me on my runs (I’m lucky cos I live in the countryside next to a river so it’s beautiful). However, having said all that, it’s still another one ticked off the list and v.happy with that👍. Roll on Thursday for R3. Happy running everyone!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Good on you for trying something different. I'm thinking I need to take a leaf out of your book and try running when it's light rather than just assuming I'm going to hate it... I just rather like the blanket of the pitch black! :D To be fair given where I live in Scotland, running in the light was rather a limited option until recently. By the same token though I'm going to have to try some time because of how long our summer days are. [gulp].
