Week 3: Run 1 - the Moon was still out!

Run 1 of Week 3 this morning, and cripes, the moon was still out.

I'm not one for getting up early so a month ago I would never have believed you if you had told me I'd be out running (actually running) in the dark, and even better, managing 3 whole minutes (twice!!) without stopping. I've taken notice of what you have all been saying about "Slow it Down", and yes, you are right, totally works. I am actually enjoying the runs and looking forward to them each time so a big thank you all for your support and wise words so far!

p.s. Any recommendations for a suitable head torch thingy?

Well done.

If looking for a headtorch, get one that fits close to your head so that it doesn't wobble about.

Having a red rear light is a good idea too, especially if running on roads.

You sound as if you're enjoying running and you're taking on advice also . Well done you 😊

If you have a hat that you like and can run in then you could just get some lights like this

And wrap them around the hat. I have one for festivals and it lights you up while also giving a low level light all around you. I find it easier walking with this on than with a head torch because of the background light it gives, rather than a spot type light, and because it lights you up as well it would be safer at night too.

Well, I would never have thought of that! I love the idea that you have one for festivals - thank you!
