First dark morning run ๐Ÿ‘ป

Had to run earlier this morning and my first dark run in a long time. It was a little creepy as only the odd person around but also very nice. By the time I was on my last stretch it was getting light and the world was starting to wake up. Iโ€™ve loved keeping up with my 3 runs a week since graduating last month and Iโ€™ve now been able to add on an extra mile which Iโ€™m really pleased about. Happy running everyone! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I love running early in the morning (never in my life thought Iโ€™d be saying those words!). Feels like a world that Iโ€™m unfamiliar with ๐Ÿ˜Š

Good for you getting out bright and early! Nice run! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™ve yet to run in the dark, but having said that Iโ€™ve just parked up ready to walk over for Parkrun and itโ€™s the darkest itโ€™s been yet - at 8.11am! Storm Callum is still lingering and Iโ€™m preparing myself for some hard slog today - especially if thereโ€™s a headwind up the long hill! Might end up stationary or even going slightly backwards! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ•

Good luck! I was lucky enough to miss the worst of the weather. I caught it all at my sons football match instead ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒช

Well done Run, have to say early morning runs are my favourite, just getting ready to go out now, bit of light rain but that's ok. Was intending to have already been out and returned by now but the bed wouldn't let go! Have a good day. Hatter.
