That’s the first week of January done.

Today’s run was a late afternoon little dash around the village before it got dark. The standard RED mileage: 3 miles.

7 days. 7 runs. 23.5 miles.

These dark nights make this ‘run every day’ lark quite tricky.

It was another dark run on the country lanes around the village. You very rarely bump into another living person, or even a car, on these runs. Tonight was different. Bloody cars at every turn. Lots of stopping and heading up the verge to avoid death or injury.

3.1 miles – nice and gentle. Day 6. Done.

Looking forward to a run in the daylight tomorrow.

It was another late afternoon run – it was dark by the time I finished.

I resisted popping into the pub – it looked very inviting.

3.7 miles. Nice and gentle.

Day 5. Done.

I fancied a run without the aid of a treadmill today. So it was a quick exit from work straight into running kit as soon as I got in.

Managed to start the run in the light – although it was fading fast.

3.8 miles.

Day 4. Done.

Back to school day. INSET. LGBTQ+ awareness training session.

Thankfully, we were given the afternoon to prepare for the term ahead. So I was able to get away reasonably early for a few miles on the treadmill.

The Garmin watch was having a difficult day and seemed to think I was doing a 21 min/mile pace.

Treadmill. 30 mins. 3 miles. Day 3. Done.

A morning at the beach walking the dog.

Then the run was a lovely pootle down to the river and back in the sunshine – although it was a tad cold out of the sun!

3+ miles. Done.
