The first of today's runs took place at 6.30 ish this morning in the dark and the rain. It was lovely! So peaceful out round Rivington and a couple of little voles ran across my path.
Running in the rain with a head torch can be quite mesmerizing and if you're not careful you could get so hypnotised by the lazer-like droplets in front of your face that you end up tripping over (which I did!). When the torch light shines on them, it looks like little drips of electricity falling down in front of your eyes. Quite difficult to explain really if you haven't experienced it.
I ran on my own this morning because I just wanted to get a quick one in and that isn't possible with Ruby. I just did a quick four mile loop around lower Rivington.
About a mile from home it was starting to get light and it was lovely being out whilst the sun was coming up.
This afternoon's run with Ruby, in contrast to this morning's run, was at dusk. It was raining very slightly this time and, instead of looking like little drips of electricity like this morning's rain, it looked more like a fuzzy broken TV.
We just ran up to George's Lane via Brinks Row and Old Rake, then along past the Pike and down the zigzag path, coming out at the school.
Total distance - 7.2 miles (4 + 3.2)
