Just Putting in the Miles

It took me a while yesterday, but eventually I managed to talk myself into heading out for a run. By this time it was getting dark, so I restricted myself to local roads. Not the most aesthetic route, in fact it probably benefitted from the poor lighting! At least the weather was OK - dry, and quite mild by recent standards.
I quickly settled into a nice steady pace, which only gradually decreased over the eight miles, and finished in just over an hour. Not my most enjoyable run, but those miles won’t do themselves!
I’m taking tonight off, rather than joining my ‘club mates’ on the usual weekly hill session. I saw a couple of them at Sunday’s race, and was asked why I wasn’t wearing my club vest. I muttered something about not having paid my subs, but shied away from admitting that I was considering leaving! Cowardly, I know. Chatting to them there made me think about how much I would miss the camaraderie of club membership.
