Day 1658 5.45kms in the pitch black with the girls

I woke at 4am…..

Up at 5.30am and out for a run with the girls. There were 4 of us this morning.

It was soooo dark this morning. We have plenty of reflective gear between us, and head torches, but it’s amazing how much darker it was this week.

It was also really mild at 10°C so the wee jacket came off half way round.

This was a fast run today as we stopped to take photos and still ran at an average pace of 7.15/km. I felt it!

Rachel spotted this plane flying overhead. It looked amazing in the dark.

You can see the stars too. It’s strange that it was 10°C and you could see the stars. Usually that means a chilly one at this time of year.

The tree is lit by my head torch in this next one.

Looking back down the road we just ran up.

There’s a car coming!!

Here we all are at the end. 5.45s.

Straight into the shower and surprisingly no dizziness at all this morning. Maybe because it’s dark my head can’t see much movement?

It was gorgeous drive to work this morning, the sky was so red. It was almost gone by the time I got to work.

So work is done and home now. I’ve sold another two things on Vinted so had to take them to get delivered after work and that DOES NOT STRESS ME OUT ONE WEE BIT…… 😫

Why does it bother me so much when I have to stop off somewhere on my way home?! I can do anything in the morning on the way in but not the way home.

Anyway, it’s done now.. TWO delivery shops later. I swear I make it harder than it needs to be through my frustration. 😆

I’m off into the pub for crochet now. I’m doing Jooooolly’s Wooooooolly giveaway tonight. It feels amazing to clear my wool out and dump it on my lovely crochet buds who already have more than me!!

And breathe.

The heartbeat levels are still high just now but I am starting to look forward to my trip too. Now that I’ve managed to pack my tiny wee bag!!

Flip flops for size reference!!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
