No Daylight

With the evenings drawing in, I was forced to use the path flanking the N17 through Claregalway. It's a run I was doing at the start of the year and isn't much fun. I knocked out the 11kms in 47:01 (4:16's) and felt pretty ordinary. It was windy running towards town and easy going away from town. Glad to get it over with.

The countdown is on for the big birthday. I'm flying to London on Thursday and then on to Skiathos Friday morning. Training may suffer. Perhaps it's time to let myself go a bit...

Anon - thanks for that. I may give the headtorch a go. Would you run the smaller roads with no street lights whilst wearing one?

Fossil - good to hear from you. I'm going okay but not as well as you!

absolutely. pitch black dark but quiet roads. the torch i got is pretty powerful yet tiny. i wouldnt be able to train at all without it as all my weekday runs are done after 10pm !. google it for more info. good log.
