MAD ABOUT RUNNING

Give me light!

Wednesday 30/08/06:

Out at 5.45am, clear skies above but a bit of a chilly wind.
Saw several others out running this morning and have also noticed an increased number of cars parked outside the gym up the road at 6am in the last week or so! Spring is in the air - bring it on!

Plan: 25min jogging

Actual: Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
Easy paced run: 33mins (6kms)
Brisk walk cooldown: 5mins

Kept the pace nice and easy throughout, but did my usual route/distance. Quite nice to dream away the time and not really have to concentrate on what I was doing as did not require much effort!

Even though I was surprised last week at how much lighter it was by the time I returned home, I have to say that the difference this week has been even greater! Its amazing how different it can make you feel, alot less isolated or alone out there! Daylight savings starts on 1st Oct here (yay!) so only a month to go!

    Looking forward to daylight savings here too. The chooks and cows can just suffer!

    You lucky thing, we don't get DS until the end of Oct, except in Tassie they get it on the 1st as well. One day the Pollies will all decide to unify the date (hopefully to the 1st). It is so light in the morning at the moment I keep thinking I am running late for work :-)
