w4r2 - in the dark, through the village.

Had too many errands to run today, so my usual morning run got delayed until 4.30. This village is simply too small, been up and down all the back tenfoots and went as far as I possibly could in every direction until I ran out of a) Streetlights b) footpaths. I will definitely not be making a habit of running in the dark, nor on hard pavements. I usually run on trails and havent really subjected myself to bone jarring concrete until today. Not for me, I couldn't do any sort of speed because of all the direction changes. But, its done. 1 more run of w4 to do on wednesday. Onwards and upwards!

Job done, rfawag! Sometimes you just have to push through and you did it and deserve extra brownie points! You'll appreciate the trails you usually run all the more now! Good luck. :)
