Well since I managed to get soaked to the bone walking half a mile in this morning I decided I'd hedge my bets and put off today's effort until I was on my way home.
Well a slight change of other plans meant that this ended up being late again with me not starting out until around 11pm! (btw, if anyone knows how to adjust my post time so that it's correct for uk then please tweet @MGossage)
Unfortunately this also meant I would be en-route to Hullavington again! Jen kicked me out of the car just before we got to Grittleton and I took off toward Hullavington along the main road.
The moon was out and it was pretty clear so I was chasing my moonshadow (insert butchered Cat Stevens lyrics here!)
It was about half way in that I wished I hadn't received the x-files box set for Christmas....even the slightest noise made me jump; I think I may have be quite out if my cardio zone by fear alone! In glad it was a route I know well, otherwise my imagination would have gotten carried away.
Anyway, I continued up to the school then back to Serendipity clocking up around 5.8km. First 2012 outing in shorts too!
As I'm here for a few days I'm going to have to stick to day time running I think!

Keep it going Mike.
I downloaded an app called Run Meter to my iPhone which tracks me via gps. And it has a setting so to alert everyone I know on Facebook when I start and then stop, and during the session I can receive vocal support from people via Facebook. Ok, I've elected not to go down that route as my pace is slow but the thought is there.
So if you went swimming or cycling, does that not count against your run a day? If you want my opinion, yep it does, as long as its over 20 mins swimming or an hour cycling, otherwise you have to don your plimsolls and leggit round the block.
Happy running.
Cheers Steve. I'll have a look at Run Meter too as I've been trying a few different ones out (Run Keeper, Daily Mile, MyFitnessPal, Training Peaks and Map my Run)
I'd like to find someway of including a 'Gadget' that keeps a track of my Garmin stats. This is my first attempt at blogging so I'm still learning quite a bit!
As for swimming and cycling...are you trying to convert me!
Nope they don't count, but I've set myself a minimum of 1 mile a day to enable me to have the odd 'rest day' when I start increasing my mileage...and I'll do the same if I take to the bike or swim
