Night running

I seem to have developed a bit of a night running obsession lately.

On Sunday I purposefully waited until it was dark to go for a run so I could run completely alone. I then went out both last night and tonight. There's something lovely and calming about it. Of course it helps that I have the most powerful head torch known to man (courtesy of the parents last Christmas)!

Last night when I was out, I suddenly noticed after a couple of miles that I hadn't felt my feet. Sounds like a strange thing to say - but I've become so used to pain and rubbing from the orthotics that to suddenly not feel them at all was remarkable. And the same again tonight, I didn't feel them at all! Wooooooo!

You know what this means don't you?!?! I'm back!!

I'm still being careful not to overdo it, so instead of building distances again immediately (which was my first thought) I'm going to work on stamina just now. I've signed up for the 2014 Marcothon - it basically means running short distances everyday in December.

I'll see how it goes - of course I'll stop if I get any pain - but I'm quite excited about it. If this works, I can start building in January :)

ps thank you everyone for your lovely comments yesterday on my blipday
