This Week's Running

Yes, weeks just race by, don't they? Days fly past, hours sometimes drag, so as time passes we have to have some fun. And when they let me out of work I've been getting back into running again.

At this time of year it gets dark really early, so it's good to run with other people. A few years ago I was a member of the Sheffield Athletic Club, so I decided that if I wanted to be a good runner again I'd need to start running with them again.

On Tuesday and Thursday nights we do a quality session-- faster running, and since you're in a group you don't mind the fact that it's dark. If you were on your own you might not even get out. Of course it's different running at the weekend because you can get out in the daylight.

For info: yesterday I ran for 1 hour 13 minutes, today I did 56 mins a bit faster than yesterday. Thursday, it was 5 x 400 metres; Tuesday just under 30 minutes of faster running.
