W5R2 - Halfway there.

W5R2 done last night. Went without a torch so bit difficult in the dark but finished it nevertheless. Will remember the torch next time! Anyone else out there who prefers to run without music? Most times I don't even look to see what I have to run, just start and stop when told. Sometimes its a nice surprise to be told to stop when I am not quite ready, sometimes I think I am not going to make it!

Glad its not just me! I tried running with music but its definitely not for me. I'm looking forward to the nice weather and running in nice places and know I will enjoy them better without the music. Maybe there is something out there I would enjoy but haven't found it yet.
