That was my first early morning run for a couple of weeks and it has got soooo much darker. Great fun sploshing around in the rain though and I got to wear my high viz vest with the flashing light on the back - cool

bj - re. safety. I tend to run mornings rather than evenings as it feels safer - I figure most of the unsavoury characters will still be in bed at 06.00 and I usually just meet commuters and dog walkers. I try to stick to well lit areas with pavements and don't go off down the tracks in the park when it's dark.

I have stopped wearing my ipod too - one reason is that you can't wear them in a lot of races so I wanted to get used to running without it but safety is also an issue. I would rather hear someone coming up behind me than have them suddenly appear - I do occasionally have people shouting comments but because I'm concentrating on running I don't tend to notice what they're saying anyway.

evab - sensible decision in this weather. Hope you get lots of rest (and cups of tea)

Well, I've just entered the Blackpool marathon for next year, someone add me to the list! Am running with my sister-in-law. Looks like it is our DFW "club" race now! Anyone else up for it?!

Quite pleased, as it is a far more sensible first attempt at a marathon for me, only 3000 entrants so less crowds and stress.

I will be hassling rich and becky for a training plan as soon as they're back

Wotchit you two - I've got my eye on you.

There'll be no slacking while I'm around; don't forget I'm tapering so I've got loads of time to kick your butts out of the door :rotfl::rotfl:

bj-sailaway

OK OK, with suggestions of 6am runs, (gonna give that a go in the morning), and you kicking my !!! - I'm fast going off this group!

No news from the other Loch Nessers? hope they made their marathon.

bj-sailaway

Oh, Hannah, meant to ask - as we seem to be running about the same level, would it be possible for me to blag your running plan, that becky did you? Do you mind posting it, or PMing it to me?

Thanks hun!
