Winter evenings

I'd been out for a couple of runs since Tidworth, but nothing substantional as the weather has been really rubbish lately.

Luckily this week has been mostly dry, and its looking like a nice weekend.

Yesterday I tried to beat the early darkness by going straight to forest from work. I had a rough idea of where I was going as the night approached. I got to about half way and swung a left for the plantation down a steep hill, and nearly fell on my ass sliding through some mud!

After washing my hands and feet off, I continued through the forest glimpsing the eyes of a cow lying down in the bracken with my head torch. After exiting the woods, it was now complete darkness as I headed back towards the car.

Back at the car I was surprised to have done 10.4km in 59mins. Not bad for a week night!
