Running at dusk…

[Mummycav]

what a lovely, lovely time of day?!

I have returned to C25k and am just on w2r2…I had to get out this evening before my head exploded..you know the feeling??

Just putting my headphones on & getting out of the car when I got to the car park at the canal I knew I was going to enjoy being outside…and I was right…who doesn’t love running in the evening? One part of the day is turning in & the other part of the day is waking up…& here I am running through this transition…taking it all in & loving every minute…

My breathing felt easy…my legs felt strong…strong enough to speed up for the last 30 seconds of each run..my walking inbetween was brisker than normal too…I was like a coiled spring…

I am happy…happy because I’ve been out…happy because I’ve reminded myself how much I love evening runs…happy because I can be outside and take everything in…and happy because I am me…I am here and I feel alive when I’m running…I know I could move on with the programme but I like the structure and I know that I want to get to the end, again…to prove that I can…

I’m on track for this weeks quest which I’m happy about too

So this week it’s a win win for me…

If you’re struggling, just run when and how far for as long as you can…there’s absolutely no way it won’t make you feel that bit better x

Agree with you Mummycav, a lovely photo, best runs are early morning or late evening.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yesss!!! Early morning runs are completely different but just as exhilarating

Someone close to me is doing the same; every run so far has been in the dark. They are loving it.

I may be trying this, it is sounding tempting... maybe we can teach an old snail new tricks

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Hahahaha…you never know Oldfloss …a change is as good as a rest?!!!! xx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Gthants]

It’s such a lovely time of day…everything’s quiet and just turning in for the day

This is so spot on! Absolutely love your run report. It feels so good to be on track! That’s a whole bucket of extra motivation right there xxx

Delighted that you're so happy Mummycav , plus it's such a refreshing change to read a post in praise of evening runs.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Cmoi]

Thanks Cmoi …I’ve always run early morning or evening…great start and great end to the day x

[Folkylass Administrator Graduate]

Simply perfect! ☺️☺️🥰

[misswobble Graduate]

I agree 🙂👍. I love taking in my surroundings no matter where I am. Evening runs when the day is winding down is lovely - especially if it’s warm.

I’m feeling sleepy just thinking about it. I’m sure it helps relieve the day’s stresses 🙂

Thank you misswobble …it really is the perfect end to the day x
