months in the dark...

British summer time official finished at the weekend, I'm really not fond of the dark winter nights, so I thought the only way to deal with was to meet it head on!

As the weekend training was a little disjointed I trained tonight, the route was: Home, Primrose Hill, Regents Pk, Baker St., Sussex Gds, Hyde Pk, Hammersmith (eventually). I was annoyed with myself as I got lost after coming out of Hyde Pk. which broke up my rhythm, however, this is the longest run I've done since the half marathon.

It was meant to be a 1:30hr run, getting lost added to the time, obviously!!

I carried a drinks bottle in a running belt which was uncomfortable, it kept hitting me in the back, so I carried it. I had a bottle of Gatarade left so I drank that on the run, it seemed to help.

Felt quite good, not overly heavy on the legs, I still don't feel like a runner but I will crack-on with it. I'm sure I will improve.

Distance: 11:50 Time: 1:50:40 Average 9:30

Weight: 13:9.
