Another one done

4 miles this morning. I ran the all-too-familiar loop in 12:00, then ran the rest of the distance in under 8 mins/mile. I accidentally stopped the timer after the first lap, so no lap times, which is actually better - no pressure to meet the splits on a day I had no intention of doing so. I just wanted to run more than the usual two laps, and but at least have a fairly fast lap.

It's fast approaching my least favourite time of year. It gets dark by 7 in the evening, and we will progressively lose light by two or three minutes on both ends of the day until Dec 21, the shortest day of the year. By that time, with clock adjustments, day will start to fade at around 3:30, and it'll start to get cold as well. Oh well, I suppose it's a trade-off for the longer days in Summer, although sometimes I wish things were more regular. Can't have it all your way, I suppose. I don't like running when it's dark, so I'll have to do more indoor training. HSKT, anyone?

More weights this afternoon, and this week's 3 runs will mainly be around 4 miles each, with one fast loop. I'm still on this routine of running relatively faster laps, and progressively increasing the distance while maintaining the speed, rather than running long, for a change.

Happy running!
