I saw the light!

[Frenc]

Hurrah, it’s finally getting lighter first thing 😊💡. It was dark when I set out, and I didn’t need my head torch towards the end. Mind you, it was a struggle getting up, plus my legs are a bit tired from the gym yesterday, so the fact I managed at all is a small miracle 🤣. It was so nice actually being able to see the view across the fields on the way back, and it was the thought of this that spurred me on initially. I do see the odd same people running from time to time, and chuckled to myself because now I don’t have the dark to hide me, they’ll actually see my little red face and hair sticking out at all angles 😆. I struggled a bit towards the end, but such is. Have a great day all! 😊😊😊

Running at this time and with sights like these makes the heart skip a beat (in the nicest way). Go you - red face and stick-out hair and all!

Well done!! I always admire morning runners and this extra boost will give you even more motivation 🌄 🌅 😊

Thank you GTFC. It really is a battle of wills between me and my bed 🛌🤣. I win mostly, but there has been the odd gremlin that’s forced me to stay put! You are right though, just a bit of daylight is much more inviting. 😊😊😊

Thank you so much Soarky! It does seem as though I’ve been in it for the long haul 🤣. I remember when I first got my head torch, I was so excited, but the daylight is SO welcome. 😊

You deserve to see the light! Massive respect to you for running in the dark at all. Full stop!!!

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you so much! It really was a treat seeing the day break yesterday, it was one of those runs you keep in your heart. I don’t mind running in the dark, I like how you feel all cocooned by it, but the longer days will be very welcome 😊.

Nice one !Always enjoyable to see the sunrise on the early morning runs !

If I open the curtains I can see it from the treadmill 🤣

Seriously, I'm looking forward to getting some nice outdoor morning runs in again 😁

[Frenc Half Marathon in reply to Instructor57]

Lol yes keep those curtains open! Hope you get outside again soon, it’s a bit of a lucky dip with the weather at the moment. And that darn work thing does get in the way 🤣!
