True, and I always do better when running in a group than alone although I loathe running with people generally. Went for a run after work tonight, set a timer for 20 minutes so ran along the canal path until it went off then turned around and headed back towards my car, ran 3.5 miles and it took me 42minutes. So planning to keep doing that maybe once a week until it gets too dark and see what kind of distance I can add on to it along with trying to get back in to the habit of going out for a run near home after work a couple of times a week.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Perhaps that's why.

Take a torch. You may not aim to run in the dark, but there's many a slip twixt cup and lip....scubaangel wrote: »and see what kind of distance I can add on to it along with trying to get back in to the habit of going out for a run near home after work a couple of times a week.

Near work is where I ran tonight - planning to chuck my head torch in to the car but should be ok for a few more weeks running just after work as long as I'm finishing at or near to on time.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Take it with you when you run. It doesn't weigh much, and you only need to mis-estimate the time once...
I take it that it's quite rural there?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Yup, the industrial area I work on it on the outskirts of town and has the canal running along the back, so I leave our car park and drop on to the canal from the second access road - tonight I ran away from town which is lovely and rural, I'd have got to the nearest village if I'd kept going another half a mile or there abouts.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Well as you get faster, you may very well do that. However, you may then see villagers with torches and pitchforks shouting "There's that woman who served me with a cardboard cup!"

This is true, and the burning torches (and witches and other paraphernalia) will provide light to see... :T"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
