Its been a while since I run in the evening. I'm more accustomed to getting the exercise out of the way early in the mrn ...
However, the weather didn't allow me to run this mrn., it started raining since 5+ this mrn.
I saw the lightning from my bedroom window at 5+, lighting up the reddish hue in the sky and by 6 it was pouring. The rain didn't abate til past noon ...
Finally laced up and started the run at half past 5 in the evening. Same route, loops along the park connector stretch. It was too crowded for comfort and expended a lot of time and energy just avoiding cyclists, unleashed dogs (argh), children etc.
It was a very cooling and relaxing run. I didn't pant most of the way though I'm going at the usual pace (thanks to the weather!). Prior to the run I was worried about the stretch back as I was imagining it to be dark and deserted with dubious characters lurking behind the bushes (imagine pairs of blinking eyes in the dark hehe), but thankfully the worries were all unfounded as it was still bright as day and the place was thronged with people.
15.2 km 1 hr 46mins.
Actually it would be slightly longer, but towards the end one pretty unfit looking guy whom I bypassed wanted to overtake me, so I decided to kick up dust and well ... didn't see him thereafter. Yeah, cheap thrill haha ...
Glad that I didn't let the weather thwart my weekend run.
