I did a run today, my longest run ever. 16.6 km. I was flipping ecstatic. I woke up this morning, thank you alarm, how on earth can a person hit snooze when I have it set up like this ...
It was still dark when I left, but I ran through town under the street lights in the FOG !! Hoping for a lovely sunrise, was not to be, the whole just over two hours was foggy, it didn't lift. As you can see behind me here. This was at the just over 8km half way point, before I turned around and ran all the way back to town. I was sodden by this stage, a combo of dampness from the fog and (what we call) liquid awesome (sweat) !!
End result... ouch. I am slow, I will grant you that, but I ran about 95% with only a handful of short walk breaks. I quite liked running in the fog, apart from having to remain completely vigilant for the few cars that came out of the fog to make sure they saw me running up the side of the road, but the fact you can't see all the distance in front of you, so you don't end up psyching yourself out of hills or rises, or the long long road stretching out ahead. It was like take each step as it came. Worked for me.
Before I go, another update on my beautiful stepdaughter. She really is just the picture of serenity. I am loving creating these pages for her.
