The running thread!

Didn't quite get to the bleeding stage luckily but quite raw.

Ah thats better. I was soaking wet, cold and hungry by the time I got back. The wind was blowing a hoolie and the turbines were spinning like spinny things but I had a great run and feel bloody great for it.

Its always a massive psychological boost when you run against bad weather.

Yes mate, it really works. I had a bit of a bad week or so were I didnt run for one reason or other. I'm back in the groove now and tonight was a great boost.
