Despite being knackered before setting out I had a really nice run yesterday evening. 7 miles along unlit roads and tow path, turned the head torch off for most of it (obviously except when a vehicle was approaching) and it's quite nice to just trot along in a kind of bubble. Very similar to cycling at night really - actually I had a rear bike light clipped to my shorts so very similar.
I did my long run on Saturday to fit in around weekend plans and encorporated a park run into my route. Somehow managed to only lose a minute on my previous course PB despite chatting to another runner pretty much all the way around, and having a 5 mile run (including a mile long hill) to the start.
Weekly total topped 35 miles last week but this week is an easier week on the plan so I have a chance to recover a little before next week which includes a 14 miler - a distance I've never run!
