It was a dark run tonight.

It was also cold.

So it was full winter kit: double top, running tights, big socks, buff, gloves, hat and headtorch.

3.8 miles.

It was a lovely afternoon for a run, albeit a bit cold. A nice little pootle out on the main road into the village and back.

3 miles. Done.

Squeezed a little 30min treadmill run in this afternoon. 3 miles.

I may have said it before, but getting out for a run after work on a Friday is by far the hardest day of the week. It was no different today.

But I did indeed drag myself out of the door, despite the threat of rain and impending dark.

3.8 miles. Done.

Also bagged the 100km in January Strava badge.

That’s every day of January I have run so far, it starts to get a bit tedious from this point. It’s not just the running, it’s the double daily showers, it’s the trying to fit it in around ‘life’, not to mention the dark, cold days.

Today it was ANOTHER treadmill run: 5km.

Today’s soundtrack was Frightened Rabbit. Incredibly this album was released ten years ago this week.

It’s been a busy cold week so far – two treadmill runs – but I was determined to get outside for a run today.

Got out of work as soon as I could and managed to at least start the run in the light – head-torch was required towards the end.

4.2 miles around the village. Very cold and breezy. Day 18. Done.
