All change! Wk3R1

A stupidly busy week has meant dog and I swapped our usual late afternoon woodland routine to an early morning road run for the first run of week 3.

It was pitch black when we set off at 6am but the street lights and my ridiculously dayglo jacket lit the way!

Thankfully got the steep hill out the way in the warm up walk and after that it was flat and fantastic for most of the session.

The last run was was an utterly breathtakingly beautiful downhill (slow) run as dawn crept over the sleeping town below me. It was quite something!

I was so pleased we did it! Think I may be a morning convert! 😁

I love running on a morning.

I've had to do it after work a couple of times and I just dont enjoy the run. Well, ok, I dont really 'enjoy' any run, but I feel good on a morning.

I love the empty streets. I used to enjoy the dark. With the clock change, I'm looking forward to some beautiful sunrises.

And.... I'm looking forward to wk3 r1 on Thursday.

Well done, keep going!

I definitely am and I am not usually a morning person. Running has introduced me to the dawn and it’s so special!!

Yup, totally agree!😁

What a great post! I'm an early morning runner and find that it really sets me up for the day. Your run sounded fantastic and working out your route so that the uphill bit is covered in your warm up walk is extremely good planning. I've found it quite inspiring lately going out before most of the streetlights are on & looking up at the stars, it just adds anothe dimension to my day.
