Session three: Night running

Time for some honesty, I did not want to go on this run. It was the first run I wasn't looking forward to. I woke up and it was absolutely lashing down outside, it was so grey and miserable! I have to admit I just pottered about the house for ages doing anything I could to avoid getting my running clothes on.
Eventually I had to face the facts. The rain wasn't going away and if I didn't go out for my run it would be the start of me making excuses not to go. I just had to face the fact I live in and Ireland and it rains 90% of the time.

Trainers on, hair scrapped back and off to the tow path I went. It was about 4.30 and it was already quite dark. I sat in my car having a cigarette in a last ditch attempt to wait for the rain to the let up but no joy. This session I went with the Chubby Jones podcasts. I really liked this one, the girl Mia talks alot during them and lets you know when you're halfway through your running interval. There's some good music, I had no idea who any of the bands were but I felt cooler by osmosis. It felt to me like it was no where as near as hard as the previous attempt. I actually thought that maybe the Chubby Jones podcast had one less running interval then the Running to Fitness one but I listened to them both again and they were exactly the same.

I genuinely feel like this one was my best run. I found a comfortable pace to jog at and was surprised when I finished my last jog as I thought I had at least one more interval to do.
After I decided to treat myself to a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks and I gotta tell you ladies of Belfast, the Starbucks on the Lisburn Road opposite the MBC is filled with hot men! I know how I'm going to spend my next Friday night- hotty spotting!

Sorry for the lack photos, I took some gorgeous ones of the lights reflecting on the Lagan at night but somehow deleted them all :-(.

Next session will finish my first weeks training, I'm going to try and get it typed up as quick as possible as I'm running a session behind myself and getting confused.

Hope you all have a glorious weekend I am partaking in a Gong Bath today what ever that is!

Love
