No more darkness

I went running this evening and I realised that it would be the last time for about six months that I'll have to go out in the dark. Since the clocks are due to go back/forward/something at the weekend, from Sunday onwards it should be daylight at any time I'm likely to want to go out. Having never experienced this before, I'm not sure whether I'll like it or not. It'll probably get warmer and I'll have to wear less clothes too.

Total miles run so far this year is 115. This puts me just on target for the 500. I'd hoped to be a bit ahead by this point (indeed, I was before I went skiing) but as long as I don't actually get behind schedule I won't be too unhappy.

I don't think I entirely realised what I was committing myself to when I started this. It's really quite hard sometimes to find the time to go out three (or even two!) times a week. It will likely get even harder over the summer as the temptation to sit outside drinking lager in beer gardens grows ever larger. I shall have to be strong.

Willpower: yes.

perhaps you should run to the beer garden. two birds, one stone. all that fun stuff. of couse, running back could be a bit hazardous.

Run back? Nah. That's what taxis are for.
