Running in the dark

It was only possible to manage a sub 10-minute-mile on yesterday's run thanks to a Christmas present from my wonderful wife:



It meant I was able to see the path ahead of me clearly enough. The only problem I had was running up one path where my breath was fogging in front of my face, lit up by the cybalite and temporarily blinding me like driving through fog with your headlights on full beam!

Back to it tomorrow - hopefully the snow will skip Oxfordshire so I can get out there and keep up with my rigourous training plan!

I'm really pleased that the head light is actually useful and not just a gimmick! It's so dark round here that I worry about you out on your own :)

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
PSC Support Or visit my Justgiving page for PSC Support at PSC Support - Justgiving
